FORK TENDER STEAK CASSEROLE



Fork Tender Steak Casserole image

This recipe is so ridiculously easy that I almost feel silly sharing it! But, I made it yesterday after probably 10 years of not, & it reminded just how good it really is! I added ingredients to it through the years. This was one of the very first things I ever cooked that came out good way back when. :) This is great for the little ones, as the steak just falls apart with a fork. Also, after browning the steak, you can make this in your slow cooker, if you prefer. Reduce water to only 1/2-3/4 cup if you use slow cooker, though. Tastes awesome reheated too!

Provided by Michelle Koletar/Mertz @Mertzie

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 9

1-2 pound(s) round steak
4 large carrots, sliced and peeled
3 large potatoes, sliced thin and peeled
1 package(s) dry onion soup mix
1-1/2 cup(s) water
1 tablespoon(s) worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon(s) steak sauce
1/2 cup(s) red wine (if not using, use 2 cups water instead)
- flour, cooking oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pound round steak w/ meat mallet until tenderized & flattened. Salt & pepper. Coat w/ flour. Fry until browned on both sides in cooking oil in a Dutch Oven. (If there's excess grease in the Oven, get rid of that. If you don't use too much oil, it shouldn't be a problem.)
  • Lay potatoes & carrots on top of steak.
  • Whisk water, steak sauces, onion soup, wine, until well blended. Pour over the main ingredients. Cover and bake for 2 - 2.5 hours at 350 degrees. Or add to crockpot and cook on low for 6/7 hours or high on 3/4. When it's done, there will be a lovely sauce and the meat will flake with a fork. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful casserole, use a combination of different cuts of steak, such as chuck roast, sirloin steak, and flank steak.
  • Searing the steak before braising helps to develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
  • Be sure to use a heavy-duty pot or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid to ensure that the steak is cooked evenly and the liquid does not boil away.
  • Add vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions to the casserole for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Serve the steak casserole over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Fork-tender steak casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its tender steak, flavorful sauce, and hearty vegetables, this casserole is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make meal, give this steak casserole a try.
