Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the round steak overnight in a mixture of Worcestershire sauce and garlic. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, increase the brown sugar slightly. You can substitute the round steak with chuck roast for a more tender result. If you don't have tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes work well too. This recipe is similar to other American recipes like Brown Stew, so feel free to experiment with spices.
