In this video i'll show you how to take a whole top round and turn it into beautiful london broils! This is practical for the homesteader who may not know how to cut these or the person who wants to buy a whole piece from a place like cash and carry. Check out the video, you'll be happy you did! Also if you want to know where you can pick up some of the tools I use i'll put a link in the description. If you have any questions or comments please post them in the comments. Thank you!

I wished i had seen this video the other night when i butchered my top round and not in the good sense of the word like you butchered in this excellent video thanks 👍🏻

Thanks man, well you know for next time. There are several ways to cut these but one of the most important things is a good sharp knife. You'll never get good results with the wrong or dull knife. Good luck man

First time seeing your vids, I liked, and subscribed . Before Covid, we use to get the whole round all the time For the past 6+ years,(I don’t count last year, because we stopped getting them.) I remember finally learning how to trim, and properly cut them. Then BAM! We didn’t get anymore. Now it’s just bottom rounds and top rounds.

I know it can be. Just show willingness to learn hustle and drive and they will see the value you can offer. Keep at it if this is something you want to do. I quit because I couldn't keep doing it because it was hard to support a family of 4 on that income where I live so I became an apprentice union carpenter. Good luck my friend.

Excellent video! Thank you. I subscribed. I have a question if you don't mind. To get the best price and quality, Is a chain store such as HEB or Kroger the best place to purchase this huge hunk of meat, or should I purchase from an actual Butcher Shop? Thank you.

@themeatcuttingacademy7613 3 жыл бұрын

It depends on brand and grade. A lot of people don't like grain fed beef like excel but honestly I don't mind. I buy what I can afford. As far as grade, I try to get choice grade beef. You can get these primals at most grocery stores other then Walmart, lol. Kroger still cuts beef but I don't they cut pork. If you want a whole piece just ask for a while top round.

@DirtBandit Жыл бұрын

Thank you I appreciate you watching. Well in this circumstance my boss at this time hated fat on his top rounds. I was personally trained before working here to leave the cap on and trim little fat. Doing that you might be left with a couple pounds of trim for grind and some left over bits for stew or stirfry meterial. You want some fat for flavor which is why in a normal shop you wouldn't do it like this but it's hard to argue with the owner, lol.

12 inch is fine. I cut my ring finger off well half of it so a 10 inch was easier to handle for me for dexterity issues. A boning knife isn't the best to trim with other then small items as you know. You'll love the bigger knife.
