Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (medium).
- Cut the steak into 10 equal portions. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet.
- Brown each piece of steak on both sides, then transfer to a roasting pan.
- Add chopped onions to the skillet and brown lightly.
- Combine the remaining ingredients to make the barbecue sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the steaks in the pan. Cover the pan.
- Bake for 2 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best results, use a well-marbled round steak for enhanced flavor and tenderness. If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be a good substitute. For added depth, try incorporating smoked paprika or a dash of liquid smoke into the barbecue sauce. If you're short on time, consider browning the steaks ahead of time and refrigerating them until you're ready to bake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the oven barbecued steaks with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. They also pair beautifully with a generous helping of baked beans or cornbread. For a cozy dinner, consider serving with other hearty dishes like Daddy'S Chili or a comforting Zucchini And Ground Beef Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover oven barbecued steaks should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steaks in a covered baking dish and warm in the oven at 325°F until heated through, about 15-20 minutes, to maintain moisture and tenderness.
