A hearty beefsteak dish with rich tomato and turmeric flavors, perfect for comforting meals. Versatile enough to include mushrooms, carrots, or potatoes for added depth.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Optional: Add mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, or other vegetables as desired.
- In a large skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onion and cook until softened.
- Stir in the tomato paste, sugar, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
- Add the round steak and cook until browned on all sides.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the beef is tender, about 30-40 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the round steak in a mixture of soy sauce and garlic before cooking. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a bit of cornstarch with water and stir it in towards the end of cooking. You can also substitute margarine with butter for a richer taste. Feel free to add mushrooms, carrots, or potatoes to make it a heartier meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious beefsteak with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed rice to soak up the flavorful sauce. A fresh green salad or roasted vegetables make excellent accompaniments. It also pairs beautifully with Marie'S Green Tomato Relish for a tangy contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the beefsteak in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water to prevent drying out. Cover with a lid to retain moisture and heat until warmed through.
