Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the round steak and cut it into serving-sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the floured steak pieces and brown them on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
Peel and slice the onion into thin rings. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Return the browned steak to the skillet, arranging it over the onion and garlic.
In a medium bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and water. Pour this mixture over the steak in the skillet.
Bring the liquid to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the steak simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally. Check periodically to ensure the liquid hasn’t evaporated too much; if needed, add a small amount of water or broth.
After 90 minutes, the steak should be tender and infused with flavor. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite steamed vegetables.
