Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Round Steak Bordelon, try marinating the steak in Worcestershire sauce for a few hours before cooking. You can substitute fresh mushrooms for the canned ones for a more robust taste. If you don't have Tabasco sauce, a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper can provide similar heat. For a thicker sauce, consider adding a bit of cornstarch mixed with water.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Round Steak Bordelon with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or over rice to soak up the delicious sauce. A fresh salad, like Quilting Party Salad, pairs well to balance the meal. For a comforting touch, consider serving it with crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Round Steak Bordelon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm it in a skillet over low heat to prevent drying out, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. Alternatively, you can microwave it on a low setting, covered, until heated through.
