Try pot roast recipes to maximize tenderness.- Ground beef round provides a lean option for burgers, meatballs, or meatloaf. Consider adding a little fat or other ground meat to boost the moisture content.- London Broil, a steak cut from the round, is best when marinated and grilled or broiled quickly to medium-rare to avoid toughness. Always slice against the grain.- Beef round can be used to create flavorful and budget-friendly stews and soups. The slow cooking process helps to break down the connective tissues for a more tender result.- Thinly sliced beef round can be used in stir-fries or as a sandwich filling.
