Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the round steak into strips and brown them in a small amount of oil.
- Slice raw potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery according to family size.
- Pour the sliced vegetables over the browned meat and sprinkle with beef bouillon granules.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the round steak in soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce before cooking. You can substitute beef bouillon granules with homemade beef broth for a more robust flavor. If you're short on time, pre-cut frozen vegetables can be used instead of fresh. This dish can also benefit from herbs like thyme or rosemary for added depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Round Steak Casserole with crusty bread or a fresh garden salad to balance the hearty flavors. It pairs beautifully with Tater Tots Casserole(Topped) for a comforting meal. For a complete dinner, consider a side of steamed green beans or a light coleslaw to add freshness to the plate.
