Description

This beef top round steak recipe delivers a juicy, lean, and flavorful meal using simple ingredients like olive oil, garlic, and soy sauce for a tender and mouthwatering result.


Ingredients

Scale

11.5 pounds beef top round steak, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, rosemary, salt, pepper, and paprika to make the marinade.
Place the beef top round steak in a ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
Remove the steak from the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels to help with browning.
Sear the steak for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it reaches an internal temperature of 130–135°F for medium-rare.
Transfer the steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes.
Slice thinly against the grain and serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra tenderness, use a meat mallet before marinating. Always slice against the grain to shorten muscle fibers and enhance chewability. This steak can also be braised or slow-cooked for a fall-apart texture. Add crushed red pepper for a spicy kick or honey for a sweet twist.
