Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned with juice
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season both sides of the beef round steak with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the steak in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Add vegetable oil to the skillet and allow it to heat. Once hot, sear the steak on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, incorporating any browned bits.
Stir in the diced tomatoes along with their juices.
Return the seared steak to the skillet, submerging it in the liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is tender.
Once the steak is tender, stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the steak hot, topped with a ladle of creamy sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles for a complete meal.
