Baked Steak Recipe 🥩🍽️
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds beef top round steak
- 1/4 cup flour
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups beef stock
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 onions, sliced
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
-
Tenderize Steak: Pound the beef top round steak gently to tenderize it. This helps to break down the muscle fibers, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
-
Prepare Dredging Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge both sides of the steak in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
-
Brown the Steak: Heat the olive oil in a heavy oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and brown it on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
-
Deglaze the Pan: Pour the beef stock into the skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This step adds incredible depth of flavor to the gravy.
-
Add Flavor: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, then remove the skillet from the heat.
-
Layer Onions and Steak: Layer half of the sliced onions in the bottom of the skillet. Place the browned steak on top of the onions, and then layer the remaining onions over the steak.
-
Pour Broth Over: Pour the beef broth mixture over the steak and onions, ensuring that the steak is partially submerged in the liquid. Spoon some of the broth over the top of the steak to keep it moist during cooking.
-
Bake: Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours, or until the steak is tender and cooked through, basting the steak with the broth halfway through the cooking time.
-
Slice and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steak to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain. Serve the sliced steak with the onions and plenty of delicious gravy spooned over the top.
-
