What is the best way to cook round steak so it is tender?

Round steaks can be a challenging cut to enjoy as they are lean and can be tough when they are cooked. The best way to prepare them is with moisture through slow cooking and braising, moisture is necessary to tenderize the meat. Cooking round steaks in liquid will also yield a scrumptious natural gravy that you can enjoy with your meal.

We love using the Crockpot for these steaks because it naturally tenderizes the meat while allowing for deep flavor development. It’s a fantastic option for many meats.

What is round steak good for?

Round steak is a lean cut that lacks natural fat to keep it moist and tender, therefore it needs to be prepared either in a sauce or gravy style dish that will help to retain its flavor and tenderize it by slowly cooking it in liquid. Round steaks can also be used by cutting them up and eating them in dishes such as beef carnitas, beef stew, or a chunky beef chili.

• Season steaks with pepper.
• Heat oils in a large skillet on high heat.
• Add steaks, and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side until seared.

• Pour the skillet drippings, onions and half the mushrooms over the meat and cook on low for four hours.
• Remove the steaks, mushrooms and onions to a serving plate. Add the remaining fresh mushrooms over the steaks.
• In a separate bowl whisk together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, whipping cream and the steak drippings from the slow cooker.

Can this recipe be made with other cuts of beef?

This recipe can definitely be prepared with other cuts of beef as its a very versatile and simplistic way to cook beef. Round steaks or other tougher cuts are a good choice simply because they require the liquid and slow cook time to tenderize and develop flavor.

More expensive cuts that have higher fat content could be used but you definitely don’t want to spend a lot of money on a steak for a recipe like this. Save those high end cuts for a grill night where they can shine, and use the inexpensive cuts for recipes like this one.
