Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef round steak
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 cups beef broth
• 0.75 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, coating both sides well. Shake off the excess flour and reserve the remaining flour for later.

Step 4

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and bubbly.

Step 5

Add the steak pieces in batches and brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the browned pieces and set them aside on a plate.

Step 6

Slice the onion into thin rings or half-rings, depending on your preference. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.

Step 8

Return the browned steak pieces to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, reserved seasoned flour (from earlier), cornstarch, and water until smooth.

Step 10

Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside momentarily. Slowly stir the sour cream mixture into the skillet, combining it with the cooking liquid to create the gravy.

Step 11

Cook the gravy over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Return the beef to the skillet and spoon the gravy over the top.

Step 12

Simmer for 5 more minutes to blend flavors. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
