Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef round steak
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak, and cut it into serving-sized pieces. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the steak pieces in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Do this in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and paprika, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and return the steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Add the carrots and mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out evenly around the steak. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Check occasionally and stir gently if necessary, ensuring nothing sticks to the bottom.
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the Saucy Round Steak hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
