Round Steak Chop Suey
A hearty Chinese-inspired stir-fry featuring tender cubed round steak, crisp vegetables, and savory mushroom sauce, perfect for a satisfying family dinner or weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Toss the cubed round steak in a nonstick pan or in a small amount of fat until it browns.
- Add the consomme, mushroom soup, water, and soy sauce. Cook the meat on low heat or in a 325°F oven until almost tender, about 30 minutes.
- Add sliced celery and cover. Cook gently for 30 minutes or until the celery is tender.
- Blend flour and water to make a slurry; add to the skillet to thicken the sauce.
- Heat until boiling and cook until thickened.
- Add drained bean sprouts and sliced mushrooms. Heat through.
- Serve on rice or crisp noodles.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the cubed round steak in soy sauce and garlic for a few hours before cooking. You can substitute the round steak with chicken or tofu for a different protein option. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add more flour to your slurry until the desired consistency is achieved. For a quicker dish, use pre-cut stir-fry vegetables instead of fresh celery.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Round Steak Chop Suey over a bed of Betty'S Chinese Rice for a complete meal. It also pairs well with a side of Stir-Fry Vegetables And Rice for added texture and flavor. For a lighter option, consider serving it on crisp noodles or with a fresh side salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water to maintain moisture, or microwave it in short intervals, stirring occasionally until heated through.
