Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cups heavy cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the round steak and cut it into 4 evenly-sized portions.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is sizzling.
Add the steak pieces to the skillet and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the steaks and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.
Return the steak pieces to the skillet, submerging them in the liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender.
For a creamier gravy, stir in the heavy cream during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
