About this cut
A lean, affordable steak cut from the inside round. Often marketed as 'London Broil' in US supermarkets, though London broil is technically a preparation method, not a cut. Best when marinated, grilled to medium-rare, and sliced very thin against the grain. Overcooking makes it tough and dry.
