Ingredients
Instructions
- Dredge the steak in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper.
- Brown the meat slowly in a skillet.
- Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce; simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add onions to the skillet.
- Cover and bake at 350°F for 75 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra depth of flavor, consider marinating the steak in Worcestershire sauce overnight. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and add it to the skillet during the simmering step. If you don't have beef broth, vegetable broth or even water can work in a pinch. This dish is versatile and pairs well with American recipes like Savory Stuffed Peppers.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the baked steak with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables to complement the rich flavors. A fresh garden salad can also provide a nice contrast. For a comforting meal, consider pairing it with Ground Beef-Noodle Casserole or some crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the baked steak to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a baking dish with a splash of beef broth to keep it moist, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 20 minutes or until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute other cuts of beef like chuck or sirloin, but cooking times may vary. Chuck will take longer to become tender, while sirloin may cook faster. Adjust the baking time accordingly to ensure your meat is cooked perfectly.
What can I do if I don't have Worcestershire sauce?
If you're out of Worcestershire sauce, a mix of soy sauce and a splash of vinegar can serve as a suitable substitute. Alternatively, mixing soy sauce with a bit of ketchup can also mimic the flavor profile of Worcestershire sauce.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dish ahead of time. After browning the steak and adding the ingredients, let it cool, then cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake it straight from the fridge, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
