Mom'S Round Steak
A hearty, savory round steak dish with green peppers and tomatoes, slow-baked to tender perfection. Perfect for family dinners and comfort food lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the steak in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Top the steak with sliced green pepper, dry onion soup mix, and cut tomatoes (not the juice).
- In a separate bowl, mix the tomato juice with A.1. sauce and cornstarch until well blended.
- Pour the tomato mixture over the steak and toppings.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight.
- Bake in a 325°F (163°C) oven for 2 1/2 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, let the steak marinate overnight as suggested, allowing the ingredients to meld. If you prefer a thicker sauce, consider adding a tablespoon of cornstarch directly to the soup mix. You can use any variety of canned tomatoes, like diced or crushed, depending on your preference. If A.1. sauce isn't available, Worcestershire sauce can be a good alternative.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is best served with a side of mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Pair it with a fresh salad, such as Raymond'S Cole Slaw, for a crunchy contrast. It also complements well with hearty bread, making for a satisfying meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a 325°F (163°C) oven until heated through, about 20-30 minutes. This method helps retain moisture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, while round steak is recommended for its flavor, you can substitute with flank steak or chuck roast. Adjust cooking times as needed since different cuts may require longer or shorter cooking times to become tender.
Is there a way to make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dish up to the baking step, cover it tightly, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. This allows the flavors to deepen even more. Just remember to add an extra 15-30 minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
What should I serve with Mom's Round Steak?
This dish pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice to absorb the rich sauce. A side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad, like Raymond'S Cole Slaw, also complements the meal perfectly, adding freshness and texture.
