Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'round' (a specific cut from the hind leg) + 'steak' (a thick slice of meat), so its meaning — a steak coming from the round — is directly derivable from the constituents. This is a literal, language-general naming pattern for meat cuts, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun round steak comes from the cow's round, the 'back leg' area, and steak meaning a slice of meat. That's why round steak refers to a lean cut from that part of the animal.
