Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large skillet with a little oil, brown the large round steak on one side. Remove the steak from the skillet.
- Mix the oatmeal into the oil remaining in the skillet. Add a little water if needed to form a mixture. Spread the oatmeal mixture on one side of the steak.
- Slice the onion and place the slices on top of the oatmeal-covered steak.
- Fold the steak over the oatmeal and onions. Add more onion slices, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper on top. Add a small amount of water to the pan.
- Cover the skillet and bake in a 350°F oven for 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the steak in Worcestershire sauce and spices for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have oatmeal, you can substitute with breadcrumbs or cooked quinoa for a different texture. To ensure even cooking, let the steak rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before browning. This dish pairs nicely with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak and oatmeal hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or a light cucumber salad. For an extra kick, consider serving with a dollop of horseradish or your favorite hot sauce. It also complements other beef recipes, making it a versatile option for any meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak and oatmeal mixture in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. Cover and heat until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes.
