Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle onion salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic on both sides of the steak.
- Place thin slices of garlic all over the steak.
- Line a foil-lined pan with foil and place the steak inside.
- In a bowl, combine golden mushroom soup, water, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the steak.
- Bake uncovered at 350°F for about 45 minutes, turning once during cooking.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, marinate the steak in the Worcestershire sauce and spices for a few hours or overnight. If you don't have golden mushroom soup, cream of mushroom soup can be a good substitute. Adjust the garlic and paprika based on your taste preference, and consider using fresh garlic for a more robust flavor. If you like a bit of heat, adding some crushed red pepper flakes can elevate the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Yum Yum Steak with a side of mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Steamed vegetables or a fresh salad would provide a nice contrast to the rich flavors of the dish. This recipe pairs beautifully with the Beef Appetizer for a hearty meal or can be enjoyed on its own for a comforting dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Yum Yum Steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the steak in a baking dish and cover it with foil to retain moisture. Heat in the oven at 300°F until warmed through, or you can use a microwave for quick reheating, though this may impact texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, while boneless round steak works well, you can substitute with flank steak or sirloin for a different texture and flavor. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as these cuts may cook faster or require different handling.
Is there a way to make this dish more tender?
To ensure tenderness, consider using a meat mallet to pound the steak before seasoning. Additionally, letting the steak rest after baking helps redistribute juices, making each bite more succulent. Marinating also helps break down the meat fibers for improved tenderness.
How can I make this dish ahead of time?
You can prepare the steak and sauce mixture a day in advance. Simply season the steak, combine the sauce, and store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, pour the sauce over the steak and bake as directed. This method intensifies the flavors.
