SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK WITH GRAVY

This is one of the first recipes I learned to cook when I was a teenager. Mom taught me to cook over the phone, after I got home from school every day. She was working and I didn't think about it at the time, but later I realized my calls were reassuring to her, since she knew I was safely home. Even when Mom told me how to do it, I nearly always tweaked it! Most of the time, it turned out okay. Mashed potatoes and biscuits are perfect with this, along with a vegetable.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2 1/2 pound) tenderized round steak, cut into 6 pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
½ cup cooking oil, divided
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup water
1 teaspoon beef base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Sprinkle each side of the round steak pieces with salt and pepper, rubbing seasoning into the meat.
  • Combine 1/2 cup flour and garlic powder in a 1-gallon resealable bag. Add steak pieces, seal bag, and shake to evenly coat all the pieces.
  • Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add seasoned and floured steak pieces to the skillet in a single layer in batches and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pieces, adding more oil, if necessary, until all are browned.
  • Add onion slices to the same skillet and stir, coating onions with pan drippings, until onion slices have separated and are just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Move onions to one side of the skillet and return browned steak pieces to the skillet. Spread steak evenly in the skillet and place onions on top.
  • Stir together water, beef base, and Worcestershire sauce in a microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and pour into the skillet. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the steak is tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove the steak from the skillet and add reserved 1/2 cup of flour to the pan drippings. Increase heat to medium; stir briskly and cook until bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in milk and keep stirring until gravy bubbles again. Return steak, onions, and any accumulated juices to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.

CROCK POT ROUND STEAK

This is a great recipe if you have just a few minutes in the morning and want a nice hot meal waiting when you get home from work. This recipe is one from my step-mom. She served this the first time that she and my dad met my fiancee (now husband) and it was absolutely to die for. I've never had another steak prepared any way that was so tender. I make this recipe with 4 steaks but it can be easily doubled.

Tips:

  • Tenderize the meat: Pounding the meat with a meat mallet or marinating it in a tenderizing solution will help to break down the tough fibers and make it more tender.
  • Cook the meat quickly: Round steak should be cooked quickly over high heat. This will help to prevent it from becoming tough and dry.
  • Use a flavorful sauce or marinade: A flavorful sauce or marinade will help to add flavor to the meat and make it more enjoyable to eat.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Round steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
