Description

A heartwarming dish featuring tender beef in a rich gravy, perfect for family gatherings and cozy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef round steak
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Start by cutting the beef round steak into serving pieces and gently pound them with a meat mallet to tenderize.
  2. Dredge the meat pieces in flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and carefully brown the meat on both sides until golden.
  4. Once browned, remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside.
  5. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and sauté until translucent.
  6. Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, whisking to combine.
  7. Return the browned meat to the skillet and toss in the bay leaf.
  8. Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for about 90 to 120 minutes.
  9. When ready to serve, dish up the steak hot with the gravy over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice.

Notes

Slice against the grain for best texture and consider meal prepping for a quick weeknight dinner. This dish gets better when made ahead of time.
