Tips & Substitutions
For a crunchier texture, try using panko breadcrumbs instead of flour for coating. You can also substitute the round steak with tender cuts like sirloin or flank steak. If you prefer, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture for extra heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the steak to avoid sogginess.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the breaded round steak and onions over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice for a hearty meal. Pair it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness. This dish also pairs beautifully with 'Depression' Meat Cakes Or Meat Balls for a nostalgic touch.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover breaded round steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. This helps retain the crispy texture from the initial cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute round steak with other cuts like pork or chicken. Just adjust the cooking time according to the type of meat used. Chicken breast or thighs will require less baking time, while pork may need a similar duration to round steak.
What can I do if I don't have aluminum foil?
If you don't have aluminum foil, you can cover the baking pan with a baking lid or an oven-safe plate. This will help trap steam and moisture while baking, ensuring the meat stays tender and juicy.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat, incorporate crushed red pepper flakes into the flour mixture or serve with a spicy dipping sauce. You can also marinate the steak strips in a mixture of hot sauce and buttermilk before breading for an extra kick.
