Top round (of
veal)
is a part of the inner side of the rear
round.
It is covered by a thin layer of
fat.
The meat is pale pink and has a light, barely visible fat marbling.
It is very lean and has short fibres, which makes it very tender.
Overall the top round is the best cut from the veal round.
As a whole its lean
meat
is a good cut for preparing a roast. It is also ideal for
veal rouladen
and
Schnitzel.
