Steak And Dressing
Steak and dressing is a hearty, flavorful dish featuring a large round steak stuffed with seasoned bread crumb dressing. Slow-baked to tender perfection, it offers rich, savory flavors ideal for family dinners or special occasions. The combination of meat and seasoned stuffing creates a comforting, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stuff the large round steak with the prepared dressing.
- Tie the stuffed steak with a clean string to secure the filling.
- Bake the steak at 275°F for 4 hours until tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor in the dressing, consider using herbs like thyme or sage. If you're out of margarine, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. For a different texture, try adding chopped nuts or dried fruits to the bread crumbs. Ensure the steak is tied securely to prevent any filling from spilling during baking, similar to methods used in Baked Flank Steak.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the steak into portions and serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. The savory stuffing pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or a tangy cranberry sauce. Consider serving it alongside a hearty dish like Mama'S Corned Beef Hash for a comforting, satisfying dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover stuffed steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a baking dish with a splash of broth or water, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through. This will help maintain moisture and tenderness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like flank steak or round roast, but cooking times may vary. Ensure the cut you choose can hold stuffing and is suitable for slow cooking to achieve tenderness.
What kind of bread crumbs should I use for the dressing?
You can use homemade or store-bought bread crumbs. For a richer flavor, consider using sourdough or whole grain bread. Just make sure they are well-crusted and dried out to absorb moisture without becoming mushy.
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the stuffing and stuff the steak a day in advance. Keep it wrapped tightly in the refrigerator, and then bake it the next day. This can enhance the flavors as they meld overnight.
