- Heat a skillet with 2 tablespoons oil until hot.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic powder or onion powder to the flour before dredging the steak. If you don’t have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute with a homemade mushroom gravy or even a can of cream of chicken soup. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet while browning the steak to ensure it gets a nice crust. This dish also pairs beautifully with Yummy Chicken Salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the oven-baked round steak with mushroom sauce over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad complements the meal well, adding color and crunch. This dish also pairs beautifully with Quick And Delicious Camp Stew for a hearty dinner.
