Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the beef round steak on a cutting board and trim off any excess fat. Cut the steak into serving-sized portions, if needed.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the steak pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the steak and set it aside on a plate.
Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.
Step 7
Return the seared steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Ensure the steak is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally and check to ensure the steak stays moist. Add a splash of beef broth or water if the sauce reduces too much.
Step 9
Once the steak is fork-tender, taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 10
To serve, transfer the steak and gravy to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
