This wasn't part of the recipe I sent, but in my notes for this recipe I
have written:

"Cooks Illustrated says that the top round roast (inexpensive) has the name
of top round first cut, top round steak roast; Best way to cook: braise or
roast, this affordable roast is the most common choice in supermarkets. Our
tasters liked it, commenting that it was very similar to the top sirloin
roast, with good flavor, texture and juciness."



I got this from CI's ratings "An Illustrated Guide to Beef Roasts." They
rate all the different roasts and the various names each are called, or go
by.



I know that for this recipe I did look for the best roast to buy for it, so
it must've been this one that I've included.
