Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place steak on a square of heavy-duty foil; sprinkle both sides of the steak with Lipton beef-mushroom mix.
- Wrap up the foil, sealing the edges airtight.
- Place on a shallow baking pan and bake for 1 hour or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the round steak in soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce before applying the Lipton beef-mushroom mix. If you're short on time, you can use a pre-packaged mushroom gravy instead of the mix. To thicken the sauce, add a cornstarch slurry during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This dish pairs nicely with hearty American recipes.
