Ingredients

• 2 pounds round steak
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the round steak and cut it into serving-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the steak and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the onion. Clean and slice the mushrooms.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion and mushrooms. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Return the steak to the skillet, layering it on top of the onions and mushrooms.

Step 7

Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the steak. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it gently simmer for 1 hour, or until the steak is tender.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this into the skillet to thicken the gravy, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Serve the steak hot with the onion-mushroom gravy spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetable side dish.
