What is Outside Round Steak?
Outside round steak is a lean cut of beef that is usually taken from the lower part of the cow’s leg. It’s usually sold as a boneless cut and is quite tough and lean. This cut is perfect for braising and slow cooking, as it needs time to break down and become tender. It’s a great choice for stews, casseroles, and roasts.
