Smothered Round Steak With Gravy Food

SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK WITH GRAVY

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:

• Combine the meat with the Essence and flour in a mixing bowl and toss to combine.
• Heat the oil in a large cast iron Dutch oven or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat and brown the meat, in batches, until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to loosen any browned particles. Add the onions, bell peppers, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add the remaining cup of broth and continue to cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour longer, or until the meat is very tender and the gravy is thickened and flavorful. Add the parsley and serve immediately over white rice, if using.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

• Scrape the any of the drippings that are sticking to the bottom of the pan. Heat drippings over medium heat.

• Whisk while slowly adding liquid like stock or water to dissolve the flour into the liquid.
• Allow the gravy to simmer and thicken and continue to slowly add liquid until you have enough gravy to cover the browned meat.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Always taste first before adding more salt! It may not need it.)
• Add the browned meat into the gravy, making sure the meat is covered. Cover pan and place in a low oven for several hours. May need to add some liquid to keep the meat covered.
• Make a pan of cornbread and a pan of rice. Serve and use gravy over the meat and the rice.

• Stir well and reduce the heat to the lowest possible point.
• Return the meat to the pot and cover with the remaining vegetables.
• Cover and let cook until the meat is very tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F.
• Use a meat mallet to tenderize the meat by pounding to ½-inch thickness.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven or deep braising skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, if necessary, add the steak and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium; add the butter to the drippings in the pan. When the butter melts, stir in the mushrooms and onion; cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
• Return the steaks and any juices to the pan. Sprinkle dry onion soup mix over all. Tuck thyme and rosemary sprigs into the broth.
• Cover and bake for 2 ½ - 3 hours, or until the meat is tender. Check the steaks once or twice during the cooking process, adding more broth to the pan if necessary. You want about ½ - ⅓ of the steaks submerged in the liquid for proper braising. If the steaks are still tough at the end of the cooking time, return the pan to the oven and continue baking.
• Remove the meat from the pan and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Discard the herb sprigs.
• To thicken the gravy, bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. If you'd like even more gravy in your pan, you can add more beef broth at this time. Add about half of the cornstarch slurry, whisking until the mixture thickens. If you'd like a thicker gravy, add the remaining cornstarch slurry (I find that I don't usually need all of the cornstarch). To thin the gravy, add extra broth. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
• Slice the steaks thinly against the grain. Spoon the gravy over top and serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs.

SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK

Steps:

• Season round steak with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Brown steak in oil until very brown on both sides, be patient, this step is very important to the success of your gravy.

Cook on medium heat until steak is very very tender, you may need to add water as you go. If you want to thicken the gravy, sprinkle some wondra at the end and boil.
