Round Steak
- Select two, 1/2 inch thick Round Steaks (or enough to feed your family twice.)
- Trim fat.
- NOTE: Use a large electric skillet or a cooking bag.
- To tenderize the meat, pound it on both sides with a meat mallet.
-

HINT: Browning meat prior
to slow cooking adds flavor. If using the cooking bag, skip the browning or brown
in a heavy skillet prior to putting meat in the bag.
|
Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the skillet. Heat the electric skillet to the
SEAR setting. Sear the meat ON BOTH SIDES just until brown, watch carefully to
not burn the meat. When brown on each side, reduce the heat to 200 (just below
BOIL).
- While the meat sears, prepare the vegetables and spices.
— Two large yellow onions, quartered
— 1 cup sliced celery and celery leaves
— 1 tablespoon diced fresh or canned garlic
— salt and pepper to taste. (Try 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes)
- When skillet temperature has been lowered to BOIL, or below a bit, turn the
meat over to loosen the meat from the pan.
- Add 1 to 2 cans SWANSONS beef broth depending on how much meat you have and
how much gravy you will use. (Keep the temperature low to prevent the broth from
boiling over.)
- Add prepared vegies and seasonings.
- Cover and simmer at least 4 hours.
- Add carrots 1 hour before serving.
- Serve meat with a cole slaw salad and mashed red potatoes.
- Save all pan drippings.
- Make gravy with cornstarch mixed in water per box directions.
- Save all LEFTOVERS.
