Ingredients
Instructions
- Pound flour, salt, pepper, and Accent into the tenderized steak.
- Cut the steak into strips about 2 inches in size.
- Brown the steak strips in oil in a skillet.
- Add chopped onion to the skillet before the meat is fully cooked.
- Mix catsup, stock, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder in a bowl.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the meat, stirring to dissolve.
- Cover tightly and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Lay pepper strips on top and cook for an additional 20 minutes.
- Add water as needed during cooking to maintain moisture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a tender texture, ensure the steak is well-tenderized before cooking. If you don't have Accent, you can substitute it with a bit more salt or a dash of garlic powder for added flavor. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and stir it in during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Consider adding bell peppers for extra color and taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Deviled Steak over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes or alongside Baked Little New Red Potatoes for a hearty meal. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad can provide a nice contrast to the rich flavors of the dish. For a complete meal, consider pairing with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water to the skillet to prevent the meat from drying out. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. This dish also freezes well; just ensure to use a freezer-safe container.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while round steak is traditional, you can substitute with flank steak or sirloin for a different texture and flavor profile. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the meat.
Is it possible to make this dish in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! To make this in a slow cooker, brown the steak and onions first, then transfer everything to the slow cooker with the sauce ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until tender. This method allows for a great depth of flavor.
What can I do if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?
If you’re out of Worcestershire sauce, you can make a simple substitute by combining soy sauce, vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. This mixture captures some of the umami and tanginess that Worcestershire adds to the dish.
