Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola)
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the round steak, then cut it into 4-6 evenly sized portions.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each steak piece in the seasoned flour, coating both sides well. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak pieces and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the seared steaks and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned.
Return the seared steak pieces to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, ensuring the steak is mostly submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steak cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally and check to ensure the gravy does not dry out. Add an extra splash of broth if needed.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually add this slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly, to thicken the gravy. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the gravy reaches the desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the round steak hot with the rich gravy spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetable sides for a complete meal.
