Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Flour Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the flour, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. This mixture will coat the steak and add flavor to the gravy.
-
-
Prepare the Meat: Trim any excess fat from the round steak, then make a few cuts along the edges to prevent the meat from curling while cooking.
-
Coat the Meat: Dredge the steak in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour and reserve the remaining flour mixture for later use.
-
Brown the Steak: Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak and brown it on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. This step helps develop the rich flavors in the meat.
-
Simmer the Steak: After the steak is browned, reduce the heat to low and remove excess fat from the skillet. In a separate bowl, combine the water and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture into the skillet, ensuring the steak is covered.
-
Cook the Steak: Cover the skillet tightly and let the steak simmer for 1 hour, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The steak will become tender and absorb the flavors of the gravy during this time.
-
Make the Gravy: Once the steak is tender, remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving platter to keep warm. To make the gravy, sprinkle the reserved flour mixture into the skillet, a little at a time. Stir constantly over medium heat to avoid lumps.
-
Thicken the Gravy: Gradually add 1/2 to 1 cup of water, stirring constantly. Continue to stir and cook the gravy until it thickens to your desired consistency.
-
Serve: Slice the steak and drizzle some of the gravy over the top. Serve the remaining gravy on the side, allowing each person to enjoy as much as they like.
This round steak and gravy is sure to become a family favorite, with its simple ingredients and rich, savory flavors. The tender meat paired with the delicious gravy creates a meal thatβs perfect for any occasion. Enjoy it with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side of steamed vegetables for a complete, satisfying meal.
