Description
The beef round primal is the rear leg of the animal. It includes the aitchbone (half of the hip bone), the femur bone, and the tibia (shank). The round includes large muscle groups that make up the subprimals of the round. They include the Top (inside) round, the bottom (outside) round, the eye of round, sirloin tip, heel, and hind shank. The three-way beef round removes the bones and separates three major cuts—the sirloin tip, the top round, and the bottom round—and packages them together.
