Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 3 large, sliced yellow onions
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the round steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, sear the round steak for 2-3 minutes on each side, until a golden brown crust forms. Remove the steak and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden and caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and fresh thyme sprigs, stirring to combine.
Return the seared steak to the skillet, submerging it in the onion and broth mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the steak to braise for 1.5-2 hours, or until it becomes tender and easy to cut with a fork.
Check periodically and add a bit more beef broth or water if the liquid reduces too much.
Once done, remove the thyme sprigs and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the Oniony Braised Round Steak hot, with the caramelized onion sauce spooned generously on top. Pair it with mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a complete meal.
