This is a lean cut and it is moderately tough. Lack of fat and marbling makes round dry out when cooked with dry-heat cooking methods like roasting or grilling.^{[citation needed]} Round steak is commonly prepared with slow moist-heat methods including braising, to tenderize the meat and maintain moisture. The cut is often sliced thin, then dried or smoked at low temperature to make jerky.

Our cattle are raised in a sustainable manner and in their most natural setting – on pasture – in the open air and sunshine free from growth stimulants and antibiotics.We truly see that we have “happy cattle.” To us, “happy cattle” is not a marketing scheme; it’s our reality. As a result, our herd is far healthier than their feedlot raised counterparts, both for you and for them. Their diet is 95% grass based. The primary ration is comprised of fresh grass and high quality hay, and a small legume based (rather than grain) ration is supplemented to increase protein intake.
