Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine catsup, Worcestershire sauce, oil, and salt in a small bowl.
- Cut steak into serving size pieces.
- Place steak in a snug fitting bowl or double plastic bag.
- Pour catsup mixture over steak.
- Cover or fasten, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the marinade. For a healthier option, substitute the oil with low-sodium chicken broth. If you're short on time, marinate for at least 2-3 hours instead of the full 24 hours, but overnight is best for maximum flavor absorption. This dish also pairs well with sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Round Steak Sizzler sliced against the grain for tenderness. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the flavorful marinade. For a refreshing contrast, add a side of coleslaw or steamed green beans. This dish is also great in a wrap with fresh veggies or as part of a One Pan Steak Dinner for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. Cover and heat until warmed through. Alternatively, you can slice it and add it to a stir-fry for a quick meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while boneless beef round steak is recommended for its tenderness, you can substitute it with flank steak or sirloin. Just be mindful that cooking times may vary slightly based on the cut's thickness and fat content, so adjust accordingly.
Is it necessary to marinate the steak for 24 hours?
While marinating for 24 hours is ideal for maximum flavor, you can marinate for a minimum of 2 hours if you're short on time. The longer the steak marinates, the more flavorful and tender it will become, but even a shorter marination will still yield delicious results.
What can I serve with Round Steak Sizzler?
This dish pairs wonderfully with sides like creamy mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a crisp salad. You can also try serving it with a tangy sauce on the side for dipping, or use it in a hearty sandwich for a satisfying lunch option.
