Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the beef round steak on a cutting board and trim off any excess fat. Cut the steak into serving-sized portions, if needed.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat 2 tablespoons of 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 golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the steak and set it aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.
Return the seared steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Ensure the steak is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally and check to ensure the steak stays moist. Add a splash of beef broth or water if the sauce reduces too much.
Once the steak is fork-tender, taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
To serve, transfer the steak and gravy to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
