Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the round steak and slice it into 4 equal portions, about 1-inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the steak pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the sliced onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and slightly golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits for extra flavor.
Stir in the ranch seasoning mix until fully dissolved. Return the steak pieces to the skillet, making sure they are partially submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender. Check occasionally to ensure the liquid has not fully evaporated, adding a splash of water or broth if needed.
When the steak is tender, stir in the sour cream to create a creamy sauce. Let it warm through for 5 minutes, but do not let it boil, as the sour cream may curdle.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
