Round Steak
I cannot remember the last time I saw a large round steak (with the round bone in it) for sale at the grocery store.
Doing some reminiscing with my wife today and we both just realized this cut of beef which once graced many a table when feeding our 4 sons, has been absent for quite some time. Not really noticing until now makes me chuckle a bit because when something is gone and forgotten......means it was not ever missed anyway! 😁
Do any of you ever see round steaks at your local grocery stores?

Meijer's here always has one on display. Big as a pizza.

Haven't seen any local for a very long time. After married we were eating high on the hog getting round steak...then we moved up to sirloin steak... now I will eat a rib eye, t bone or porterhouse.

That's one of the most common cuts we see at the local Safeway.
Ate a lot of it when I was a kid. As an adult I got spoiled on ribeyes and T-bones. I use the round steaks to make dried beef and jerky.

We used round steaks occasionally for Sunday early dinner. My grandfather would brown it in an electric skillet with onions, potatoes and carrots then add a couple of cups of water or a can of mushroom soup plus water and leave it to simmer for a while. It would be extremely tender by the time we got home from church. Fresh rolls or bread and butter was all you needed for rest of the meal. YUM!.
Do your butchers mark the ground beef by percentages of meat to fat or do they still use the older labeling:
Ground Beef
Ground Chuck
Ground Round
Ground Sirloin
Best.

When my wife was young, she used to flip a coin (or fight) with her brother about who would get the cooked round bone in the round steak. That fatty marrow always grossed me out! I always let her have her way!

If you can find them, try chuck eye steaks. My guy here calls them Poor Man's Ribeye and boy is he right.

I worked in a meat department at a local grocery store when I was going to community college. The round steak was one of the cheapest cuts and I still couldn’t afford it.

Round steak around here is spelled balonie.

Got several round steaks in my freezer, and many more walking around my place. I don't think it is a bad cut.

I work in the meat dept. of a grocery store (big Texas chain) but I work the cold wall with cheese, lunch-meat, bacon, and such. Tomorrow I will mosey over to the "meat" counter/section and see if we have round steak, bone in.

I fondly remember my mom making bone in round steak a lot for her four growing boys and my dad. Round steak, mashed potatoes and a veggie was common table fare. Mom always had it super tender, the gravy was heavenly. We would flip coins to see who got the marrow to spread on a piece of bread.
Ah, the good old days. Now I eat Deer, pork and chicken. Beef on the table is as rare as hens teeth. Maybe once or twice a year I will grill a nice rib eye from a butcher shop in Marietta Ohio. They have excellent steaks, spendy but top quality.

I have the same memory, but I always got the bone and just scooped the marrow out and ate it!!!!!

It is also a great survival food...If you find a big game kill.. IMO...Lots of calories...
