Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the round steak on both sides; drain the grease off of the meat.
- Pour the cream of mushroom soup, water, and sliced onions over the meat.
- Simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, marinate the round steak in your favorite seasoning blend for a few hours before cooking. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a homemade mushroom sauce using fresh mushrooms and low-fat milk. You can also use a different cut of beef, like chuck roast, for a more tender result. Serve with a side of rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak and onions over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or rice for a hearty meal. A side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad complements the dish well. For a comforting dessert, consider pairing it with Mrs. Griffin Molasses Cake or a slice of Banana Pudding (From Scratch) to finish off your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the steak and onions in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. You can also microwave it in short intervals, ensuring it stays moist and tender.
