Bottom round steak???

Question

I have a steak that's labeled as "Beef Round Bottom Round Steak".

Whats the best cooking method for this cut? How's the tenderness??

Answer 1

Low and slow. Good examples would be Beef Burgundy, Stew or Swiss Steak.

Answer 2

My mom was a butcher and always used this cut to make Swiss Steak.

Ingredients:

1 to 1 1/2 pounds round steak

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 4-ounce can mushrooms, drained (or use fresh sliced)

1 10 3/4-ounce can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

Preparation:

Trim visible fat from round steak and cut into 4 to 6 serving-size pieces. Pound to flatten and tenderize. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Place meat in bottom of slow cooker. Spoon drained mushrooms on top of steak, then spread mushroom soup over. Cook on low for 7 to 9 hours. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes and a salad or green vegetable.

Serves 4 to 6.

Answer 3

I used bottom round in this once::

Braciole

1 pound top round steak

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese *

2 cloves garlic - minced *

1/4 cup Raisins, soaked in warm water to rehydrate then drained

6 ounces mozzarella cheese - sliced*

6 teaspoons Butter *

Salt/pepper

Olive oil

Cut steak into 4-6 pieces and pound each piece to flatten very thin. Place mozzarella and butter on each piece then sprinkle with Parmesan, garlic, raisins, salt and pepper. Roll each piece and tie securely with string.

Saute in olive oil with salt and pepper until steak rolls are browned on all sides. Drop into your favorite tomato sauce and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until fork tender. Remove from sauce, let cool slightly then carefully remove string and serve with your favorite pasta.

I always serve w/egg noodles. I usually simmer about 4-5 hours.  Can be put in crockpot.

* all these ingredients I eyeball it - I use as much as I please.

Answer 4

I use Worcestershire sauce and Lawry's seasoned salt. My husband loves it. You can either beat it to death or cheat and use s tenderizer which ever you prefer. I have found it to be tough if i don't beat it to death first.

Answer 5

Braised is the best.
