Description
A full round 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. A new york–style round is a version of the whole round in which the sirloin tip and aitchbone are excluded, leaving a portion of the femur exposed.
