- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.

Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, marinate the round steak in soy sauce and ginger for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have fresh ginger, ground ginger works as a substitute. Consider adding vegetables like carrots or mushrooms for a more hearty dish. Adjust the soy sauce to suit your taste or use low-sodium versions for a healthier option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Dee's Round Steak over a bed of rice or egg noodles to soak up the flavorful sauce. Pair it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. This dish also complements well with crusty bread, making it perfect for sopping up the delicious sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the steak in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of beef bouillon for moisture and flavor. Avoid high heat to prevent the meat from becoming tough.
