SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK WITH GRAVY



Smothered Round Steak with Gravy image

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.

ONION SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK

The buttermilk in this recipe tenderizes the steak. Unknown source

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds round steak, cut into serving sizes
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
4 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups water
2 medium onions, sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare steak by washing and drying the pieces and pounding with a metal meat hammer on both sides. Put in a bowl, cover with the buttermilk and soak overnight in refrigerator. Discard the buttermilk.
  • 2. In shallow bowl, create a dredge of the flour, salt and pepper. Heat oil in large deep skillet with a lid. Coat each steak well in the dredge and brown on both sides of the hot oil.
  • 3. When browned, remove the steaks and pour the dredging flour into the skillet and brown the flour like a gravy roux. When flour is browned, stir in the water briskly, blending out the lumps. Return steak to skillet, cover with onion slices and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or til onions and meat are tender. If gravy appears too thick, just stir in more water. Serves 4 to 6

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Round steak is a relatively tough cut of meat, so it benefits from slow cooking. It is also important to slice the meat against the grain, which will help to tenderize it.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat before simmering it will help to develop its flavor and create a rich sauce.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a flavorful broth, such as beef broth or chicken broth.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and texture to the dish. Some good vegetables to add include onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes.
  • Simmer the dish for at least 1 hour: This will allow the meat to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the dish with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles: These side dishes will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Smothered round steak with onions is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. The rich, flavorful sauce and tender meat are sure to please everyone. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover steak. Simply slice the steak against the grain and follow the recipe as directed. Smothered round steak is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of side dishes. Mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles are all good choices.
