The Technique
Broiling Top Round Steak is a quick & simple way to prepare this cut hence the secondary term, London Broil. Several criteria should be followed when cooking any beef steak. First & foremost, you want the steak to have a tender texture. Top Round Steak is a bit tougher than many other cuts so marinating it up to 24 hours before cooking will produce a better result. Next, always remove Top Round Steak from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you plan to cook it. The desired degree of doneness must also be decided upon. Approximately 6 minutes of cooking on each side when broiling is the chosen method with a 1 3/4-inch thickness will generally produce a medium-rare result. Be certain to lower the oven rack so that the steak on the pan is several inches below the flame when broiling.
