Time 4h10m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs round steaks, cut in serving size pieces
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
3/4 cup ginger ale

Steps:

Preheat oven to 275.
Line a 9X13 baking pan with foil.
Place meat in bottom of pan.
Mix soup, dry soup mix, and ginger ale together in a small bowl.
Pour soup mixture over meat.
Bake in preheated oven for 4 hours, or until meat is tender and cooked through. (cooking the meat on such a low heat for a long period of time helps make it tender and fall apart).
You can also make this in the crockpot -- just mix all the ingredients, pour in the crockpot, and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until meat is tender depending on your individual crockpot's cooking time.
Enjoy!

QUICK ROUND STEAK -- COMFORT FOOD

Quick Round Steak -- Comfort Food image

This came from my mother-in-law via my wife. It's always been a family favorite, especially in cool/cold weather. It does require a pressure cooker, but I believe more people should learn to cook with one. It's fast! And it makes one of the tougher cuts of beef into a melt-in-your-mouth comfort food. I've never seen any written directions that I know of. Just experiment a little and you'll come up with your own!

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs boneless round steak
3/4 cup flour
salt and pepper
garlic powder or minced garlic
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

Cut the round steak into pieces about the size for one serving -- maybe 2-3 inches by 4-5 inches.
Season meat with salt, pepper, garlic.
Dredge in white flour (both sides).
Brown meat in 1/2 cup (+/-) oil in skillet or bottom of pressure cooker.
Empty the soup cans into the pressure cooker. (If you used it for browning, be sure to pour off excess oil.).
Add the meat -- unless it's still in the pressure cooker :).
Mix meat gently into soup concentrate, making sure that each piece is coated on both sides.
Following the directions for your pressure cooker, cover and seal.
Place the "rocker" on the top steam vent.
Cook over medium-high heat.
When the "rocker" begins rocking, you can reduce heat as long as it keeps rocking.
Cook for ten to twelve minutes, then remove from heat.
Following directions for your cooker, allow to cool on a trivet or hasten the cooling with water running into a sink.
DO NOT remove the rocker until the pressure has gone down.
Open lid when the pressure lock permits.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes and vegetable of your choice.
(Increase or decrease amounts carefully! The amount of meat can be varied, but doubling the meat doesn't mean you need to double the amount of oil.).

Tips:

Choose the right cut of meat: Round steak is a lean cut of beef that can be tough if not cooked properly. Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling.
Tenderize the meat: To make the round steak more tender, you can pound it with a meat mallet or marinate it in a mixture of oil, vinegar, and spices.
Cook the steak over medium heat: Cooking the steak over medium heat will help to prevent it from becoming tough. Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the steak rest before serving: Letting the steak rest before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Round steak is a delicious and affordable cut of beef that can be used in a variety of dishes. By following these tips, you can cook round steak that is tender, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give round steak a try!
