SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK WITH GRAVY



Smothered Round Steak with Gravy image

This is one of the first recipes I learned to cook when I was a teenager. Mom taught me to cook over the phone, after I got home from school every day. She was working and I didn't think about it at the time, but later I realized my calls were reassuring to her, since she knew I was safely home. Even when Mom told me how to do it, I nearly always tweaked it! Most of the time, it turned out okay. Mashed potatoes and biscuits are perfect with this, along with a vegetable.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2 1/2 pound) tenderized round steak, cut into 6 pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
½ cup cooking oil, divided
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup water
1 teaspoon beef base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Sprinkle each side of the round steak pieces with salt and pepper, rubbing seasoning into the meat.
  • Combine 1/2 cup flour and garlic powder in a 1-gallon resealable bag. Add steak pieces, seal bag, and shake to evenly coat all the pieces.
  • Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add seasoned and floured steak pieces to the skillet in a single layer in batches and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pieces, adding more oil, if necessary, until all are browned.
  • Add onion slices to the same skillet and stir, coating onions with pan drippings, until onion slices have separated and are just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Move onions to one side of the skillet and return browned steak pieces to the skillet. Spread steak evenly in the skillet and place onions on top.
  • Stir together water, beef base, and Worcestershire sauce in a microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and pour into the skillet. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the steak is tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove the steak from the skillet and add reserved 1/2 cup of flour to the pan drippings. Increase heat to medium; stir briskly and cook until bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in milk and keep stirring until gravy bubbles again. Return steak, onions, and any accumulated juices to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

THE SAUCE INGREDIENTS ARE FOR 2 STEAKS - YOU CAN EASILY DOUBLE FOR MORE - OR YOU JUST WON'T HAVE AS MUCH SAUCE AND MUSHROOMS FOR EACH STEAK
2 - 4 strip steak - about 8 ounces each
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 sweet onion or 1 large shallot, minced
3 -4 clove garlic - minced
3 - 4 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 c marsala wine
1 1/2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 - 2 tsp lemon juice
8 oz portabella mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 tsp dried thyme

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degree F. Mince your garlic, shallot or onions, and slice the mushrooms, set aside.
  • 2. Salt and pepper your steaks.
  • 3. In a large oven proof frying pan ( I use my iron skillet) add about 2 tablespoons of the oil and cook the steaks on medium high heat for about 6 minutes on each side.
  • 4. Place the skillet in the oven and continue cooking till desired doneness.
  • 5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm, while preparing the sauce. In the same skillet add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt,and pepper.
  • 6. Cook on medium high heat until mushrooms are tender. Stir in the onion, thyme, and minced garlic; cook until soft.
  • 7. Stir in the Marsala wine scraping any pan drippings from the bottom of the pan. Add the Worcestershire sauce and cook over medium high heat until mixture is reduced to about 3/4 its original volume and then stir in the lemon juice.
  • 8. Plate your steak and spoon sauce and mushrooms over your steak. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality strip steak: Look for a steak with good marbling, as this will add flavor and tenderness to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the steak, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can sear properly. If the pan is too crowded, the steak will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a high smoke point oil: When searing the steak, use an oil with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed oil or canola oil. This will help to prevent the oil from burning and smoking.
  • Sear the steak for a few minutes per side: The key to a perfectly cooked steak is to sear it for a few minutes per side over high heat. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Onion smothered strip steak is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following the tips above, you can create a delicious and flavorful steak that will be the star of any meal.
