I did not marinate but I did cut the cooking time down to 2 minutes 1 side & 3 the second. still a bit pink in the middle & tender. I'm can't stand tough meat & this was perfect.

1 out of 5Broiled Top Round Steaks became BURNED Top Round..April 21, 2009

This recipe looked good and everything was progressing fine until I put steaks under the broiler.....the recipe says ""place pan 4""-6"" from heat and broil 10 minutes. Turn and broil 10 to 15 minutes longer or until desired doneness."" Well after 7 minutes the steaks curled up and were very well done, almost burnt! Maybe 3-4 minutes on each side would have worked but certainly not the total of 20-25 minutes. Broilers heat to 500 degrees and even 4-6"" away from heat a 1""+ thick steak will cook very quickly.

I loved this recipe - it is nice and basic. Also, it was very quick to make, which is what I need! The only reason I only gave it 4 stars is because if the steak is thinner, it only needs to be broiled about 5 - 6 minutes per side. Overall, I found this to make a very juicy, tender steak.

Although very basic, this is an excellent way to cook round steak, especially if you have an accompanying sauce. One watch out is not to overcook the steak, but that is more a function of the cut (round steak) than the method. As stated in Wikipedia, round steak is ""a lean cut and it is moderately tough."" It is probably best suited for slow cooking or slow roasting. We cooked it with this method, and our cut was only about 3/4"" thick, so we cooked for 7 minutes and 5 minutes per side (instead of 10 and 10-15 for thicker cuts), which was plenty. We also sliced it very thin - roughly 1/8""-1/4"" thick. Several sauces available to use with this, but we used a balsamic vinegar with shallot sauce that was very good. I would definitely use this recipe again, especially given its simplicity.

Too dry! I cut it extremely thin and it was just dry. I broiled it turning every 5 minutes for a total of 20 min. Next time I probably will marinate.
