Artichokes and canned vegetables combine for an easy steak dish to make for any occasion. Most of the ingredients will be found in your pantry. If you don't have artichokes, use mushrooms. This dish is very forgiving! Serve with rice, noodles, or even spaghetti.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound beef chuck steak
1 pinch salt
¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
¾ cup beef stock
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, chopped and juice reserved
½ cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
½ (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons capers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place beef chuck steak on a work surface and pound with a meat mallet to tenderize steak; flip steak and repeat on other side. Cut steak into 6 to 8 pieces.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Season both sides of steak pieces with salt; coat with a thin layer of flour.
  • Cook steak in the hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove steak from Dutch oven. Pour beef stock and 1/4 cup reserved artichoke juice into the Dutch oven, scraping any brown bits of food from the bottom. Mix artichokes, red peppers, green chiles, horseradish, and capers into broth mixture; bring to a boil. Return beef to broth mixture in Dutch oven and cover.
  • Place Dutch oven in the preheated oven; bake until meat is tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Allow steak to cool in Dutch oven for 15 minutes before serving.

BRAISED CHUCK STEAK



Braised Chuck Steak image

Chuck Steak is usually tough & tasteless, but not when prepared like this! I like making a gravy with the drippings & serving it with Recipe #331767 Choose a boneless chuck steak that isn't too fat, but has some nice marbling. You can also use Beef Short Ribs for this.

Time 2h20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs chuck steaks
flour, enough for dredging (about 2/3 c.})
1/4 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
seasoning salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 medium Spanish onion, sliced
1/2 cup water (or beef broth)

Steps:

  • Cut the meat into about 1 inch strips.
  • Dredge meat in the flour, shaking off the excess.
  • In a dutch oven, melt shortening over med.-high heat (WATCH CAREFULLY -- if it smokes, it's too hot).
  • Brown meat on all sides -- do in batches, if need be).
  • Season to taste.
  • Drain fat from dutch oven & return the meat.
  • Place sliced on over the meat & then add the water.
  • Cover & simmer on LOW heat for 2 to 2½ hours OR place in a 325° for the same amount of time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck steak is a tough cut of meat, but it becomes tender and flavorful when braised. Other good options for braising include brisket, short ribs, and pot roast.
  • Brown the meat before braising: Browning the meat in a hot skillet or Dutch oven before braising helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the meat its flavor, so it's important to use a flavorful liquid. Good options include beef broth, red wine, beer, or a combination of these liquids.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to the braising liquid: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and complexity to the braised meat. Good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Cook the meat until it is fall-apart tender: The meat should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, which usually takes at least 2 hours. You can check the meat for doneness by inserting a fork into it. If the fork goes in easily, the meat is done.

Conclusion:

Braised chuck steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your braised chuck steak turns out tender, flavorful, and delicious.
