All fresh meat sold in the US MUST be clearly labeled indicating from what
animal and which cut... you are obviously incapable of reading the label.
That the label also indicated London broil was merely a suggestion of usage,
just like large cuts of chuck are often also labeled Pot Roast, that is not
meant to indicate that one can't grind it for burgers/meat loaf. London
broil is a recipe, not a cut of meat... if it's top round it will say top
round, if it's flank steak it will say flank steak, and if it's sirloin it
will say sirloin... there is nothing preventing one from using such cuts for
dishes other than London broil, all can be braised, and often are.
