Ingredients
Instructions
- In a skillet, brown the round steak on both sides.

- Cover and simmer until the meat is tender and most of the water has evaporated.
- Pour mushroom soup over the meat and stir until the soup comes to a boil.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, marinate the round steak in your favorite seasoning blend or a splash of soy sauce before cooking. If you don't have mushroom soup, cream of celery or chicken soup can be used as a substitute. To enhance the gravy, consider adding sautéed onions or garlic for depth. Using fresh mushrooms instead of canned can elevate the dish even further.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the rich sauce. Steamed green beans or a fresh salad can complement the dish nicely. For a comforting meal, try pairing it with a slice of homemade Bread or a side of Delicious Applesauce Cake(Makes Large Cake) for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water if the gravy has thickened. Alternatively, microwave in a covered dish, stirring occasionally until heated through.
