Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds round steak
- 2 large onions
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the round steak and cut it into serving-size portions.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating evenly, and shake off any excess.
Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings. Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the coated steak to the skillet and sear each piece for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the seared steak and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter to the skillet, and let it melt. Stir in the sliced onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized and golden brown.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Return the seared steak to the skillet, nestling it into the onion mixture. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 60-75 minutes. Turn the steak occasionally during cooking to ensure it remains tender and absorbs the flavors.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving for a touch of freshness.
Serve the round steak and onions hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
