Minute Steaks are a cut of either the top round or the top sirloin that are pre- tenderized and flattened by a meat tenderizer. The tenderizing breaks down the muscle fibres, giving the steak their characteristic appearance and making them more tender then the original cut. They need to be cooked quickly, because they’re so thin, to retain the moisture and avoid going tough. Literally, all that’s needed is a MINUTE!
