Where it comes from

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. It is part of the round primal (Steak cut from the inside round / top round).

In menus and butcher shops it is often discussed next to Inside Round, and Bottom Round Roast.
