Questions about Outside round bottom round steak
What is outside round bottom round steak?
It is a lean cut from the hind leg, also called the outside round in some naming systems. Its little fat and firm muscle make it less tender than premium grilling steaks.
How do you cook outside round bottom round steak so it stays tender?
For a quick cook, slice it thinly across the grain, sear in a very hot pan for a minute or two per side, then rest briefly. For a whole steak, marinate it and avoid cooking it well done; a covered, slow braise is better if you want it thoroughly cooked and soft.
How should you slice outside round bottom round steak?
Let it rest for about 5 minutes after cooking, then cut thin slices across the visible muscle fibres. Cutting with the grain leaves long fibres and makes this lean steak noticeably chewier.
Can you use outside round bottom round steak for stir-fry?
Yes. Chill it until firm, slice very thinly across the grain, and pat the strips dry before searing in batches in a smoking-hot pan. Add them back to the vegetables and sauce only at the end so they do not stew.
How long can you keep outside round bottom round steak in the fridge?
Keep raw steak covered in the coldest part of the fridge and cook it within 3–5 days; freeze it sooner if you will not use it in that time. Refrigerate cooked steak within 2 hours and use it within 3–4 days.
What can you use instead of outside round bottom round steak?
Top round or eye of round steak are close lean alternatives; use the same thin slicing and across-the-grain cutting. For a slow braise, bottom round roast gives a similar flavour and texture.
Is outside round bottom round steak good for steak sandwiches?
Yes, especially when cooked just until tender, rested, and sliced very thinly across the grain. Serve it in a crusty roll with mustard, or with fried onions and peppers.
