Quick Round Steak Comfort Food Recipes

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.

QUICK ROUND STEAK -- COMFORT FOOD

Steps:

• Cut the round steak into pieces about the size for one serving -- maybe 2-3 inches by 4-5 inches.
• Season meat with salt, pepper, garlic.
• Dredge in white flour (both sides).
• Brown meat in 1/2 cup (+/-) oil in skillet or bottom of pressure cooker.
• Empty the soup cans into the pressure cooker. (If you used it for browning, be sure to pour off excess oil.).
• Add the meat -- unless it's still in the pressure cooker :).
• Mix meat gently into soup concentrate, making sure that each piece is coated on both sides.
• Following the directions for your pressure cooker, cover and seal.
• Place the "rocker" on the top steam vent.
• Cook over medium-high heat.
• When the "rocker" begins rocking, you can reduce heat as long as it keeps rocking.
• Cook for ten to twelve minutes, then remove from heat.
• Following directions for your cooker, allow to cool on a trivet or hasten the cooling with water running into a sink.
• DO NOT remove the rocker until the pressure has gone down.
• Open lid when the pressure lock permits.
• Serve hot with mashed potatoes and vegetable of your choice.
• (Increase or decrease amounts carefully! The amount of meat can be varied, but doubling the meat doesn't mean you need to double the amount of oil.).
