Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of this dish, consider marinating the round steak in soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be a good substitute. For a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it during the last 30 minutes of baking. You can also use leftover steak from recipes like Chili Beefburgers For A Crowd to save time.
