Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, marinate the steak in a mixture of Worcestershire sauce and garlic before dredging in flour. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a tablespoon of tomato paste or cornstarch mixed with water. Substitute round steak with flank or chuck for different textures. For a veggie boost, include bell peppers or mushrooms in the mix.
