SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK WITH GRAVY
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.

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.

Steps:
- Remove most of the excess fat from the tenderized round steak and cut the steak into serving size pieces. If using round steak that is not tenderized, pound it with a tenderizing mallet. Mix the flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Heat about a tablespoon of the margarine in the skillet over medium to medium-high heat until sizzling. Dredge the steak pieces in the flour and place in the skillet. Only add enough pieces to cover the bottom without crowding. Cook until nicely browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Set them aside and fill the skillet with more steak pieces. Continue this process until all the pieces have been browned. You will have to add more margarine in between each batch and maybe a little just before turning each batch. You may end up needing a little more than a 1/4 cup of margarine. Once all the pieces have been browned, place all the browned steak pieces back in the skillet. Pieces will have to be layered. Spread the can of cream of mushroom soup over the top of the steak, cover, and heat until soup is bubbling around the edges. Then turn the heat down to a simmer and allow it to cook, covered, for 45 to 60 minutes. Once the steak is done, remove it from the pan, scraping off some of the soup from its surface back into the pan. Place the steak on a serving platter. Once the steak has been removed, add a little water (or milk) to the skillet, being careful not to add too much or it will thin the gravy too much. Mix it into the soup, scraping the sides and bottom to blend the flavorful piece into the gravy. Bring to a boil and then remove from the heat and pour into a serving bowl. Serve the gravy over mashed potatoes (homemade or instant), along with the tenderized round steak. Note: If you would like more gravy you can add more milk or water and then thicken it with a flour and water thickener. Season as needed with salt and pepper.

Steps:

Add steak and cook on high until browned, turning steak every 3 to 4 minutes. (Lower heat if necessary.) The steak should be well browned on both sides. Remove steak and add onions and bell peppers to pan. Cook until wilted. Place steak on top of onions and bell peppers and add 1/4 cup of water. Lower heat to medium, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, turning steak every 20 minutes. (Note: when lifting lid of pot, let the water from the lid drain into the pot.) When steak is tender, remove steak and place on a platter. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water and add to the pot. Stir to make a gravy. Serve gravy over hot rice with steak.
ROUND STEAK AND GRAVY
The meat is so tender and moist and the gravy is so flavorful. Instead of baking it in the oven, I use my pressure cooker. This is wonderful with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Steps:
- Cut off fat from round steak and cut into 3 x 3 inch pieces.
- Whisk water and mushroom soup together in a bowl, then pour just enough to thinly coat the bottom of a 13 x 9 pan.
- Place the pieces of round steak evenly around the pan.
- Cut onion into slices and place them evenly on top of the meat.
- Pour the rest of the mushroom soup mix on top of the round steak and onions.
- Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat. Round steak is a lean cut of beef that is best cooked in a slow cooker or braised in a flavorful liquid.
- Sear the steak before cooking. Browning the steak in a hot pan helps to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid. Beef broth, red wine, or tomato sauce are all good choices for braising round steak.
- Cook the steak until it is fall-apart tender. This can take several hours, so be patient.
- Serve the steak with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
