Ingredients
Instructions
- Place steaks in a shallow baking dish.
- Combine salad oil, chopped onion, white wine vinegar, salt, and oregano to make the marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the steaks.
- Cover and refrigerate for several hours, turning the meat occasionally.

- Remove steaks from the marinade.
- Place steaks on a broiler pan and cook about 4 minutes per side, basting with marinade.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the top round steak overnight instead of just a few hours. If you don’t have white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar works well as a substitute. Sautéing the mushrooms in a bit of the marinade can enhance their flavor, making them a perfect topping for the steak. This method is similar to preparing a Navy Sos Recipe, which also emphasizes marination.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the top round steak with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness. Mashed potatoes or rice can also complement the dish nicely. For a complete meal, consider pairing it with the Steak With Herb Stuffing, which provides a hearty and flavorful contrast to the marinated steak.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover cooked steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over low heat, allowing it to warm slowly without drying out. Alternatively, you can microwave it on low power, covered, for a minute or two, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while top round is ideal for marinating and grilling, you can use other cuts like flank steak or sirloin. Just adjust cooking times based on the thickness of the steak, as these cuts may cook faster or slower than top round.
How can I make this dish more flavorful?
Adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the marinade can boost the flavor profile. Consider incorporating some Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for an umami kick. These additions can elevate the dish, similar to how flavors are layered in Black Velvet Chili.
What should I do if I don't have salad oil?
If salad oil is unavailable, you can use olive oil or vegetable oil as a substitute. Both will work well for marinating and cooking the steak without significantly altering the flavor. Additionally, avocado oil is another great option that provides a nice taste.
