Chef’s Secret

For round tip steak, always slice against the grain after cooking to maximize tenderness, especially for stir-fries or sandwiches. Marinating for several hours also helps.

Substitutions

Best Match

Top Sirloin

1:1

Leaner and slightly more tender, good for grilling or broiling if marinated.

Flank Steak

1:1

Similar lean, tough characteristics requiring marinating and thin slicing against the grain.

Chuck Roast (cut into steaks)

1:1

More marbling and connective tissue, benefits from slow cooking methods.

Rump Steak

1:1

Similar lean cut from the hindquarter, versatile but benefits from tenderizing.

Buying Guide

Look for bright red color and minimal marbling. Avoid cuts with a dull appearance or excessive purge in the package. Can be found as 'knuckle' or 'bottom round tip'.
