Round Steak With Caramelized Onions And Mushrooms
Round steak is slow cooked in a sauce made with carmelized onions, mushrooms, and broth until tender.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 ounces portobello mushrooms sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 lbs round steak
- 1 cup flour AP or einkorn
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- coconut oil for frying
- 2 cups bone broth or water
- Fresh herbs optional
Instructions
- In a cast iron skillet, sauté onions and mushrooms with butter and salt on low to medium heat. Set aside.
- Cut round steak into personal size pieces.
- Combine flour and salt in a flat dish, like a glass baking dish.
- Pound round steaks on both sides to help tenderize them.
- Dredge meat in flour/salt.
- Place round steaks into a hot skillet and fry them for a few minutes on each side, just to brown. Place in a dutch oven.
- Add caramelized onions and mushrooms to the skillet to make a gravy from the drippings. Pour gravy and onions over round steak, as well as any fresh herbs, cover with lid, and place into preheated 350 degree oven for 2 hours.
Notes
- Make sure to tenderize both sides of the meat.
- Caramelizing onions takes patience. Low and slow is the best way to get the onions to caramelize without burning.
- Cook with bone broth (chicken or beef) to add flavor and take advantage of the health benefits. I usually use chicken broth, because I always have some on hand.
- Getting a good browning on the meat adds flavor and helps lock in the juices. Don’t skip this step.
