Iriss Smothered Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle each side of the round steak pieces with salt and pepper, rubbing seasoning into the meat.
• Combine 1/2 cup flour and garlic powder in a 1-gallon resealable bag. Add steak pieces, seal bag, and shake to evenly coat all the pieces.
• Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add seasoned and floured steak pieces to the skillet in a single layer in batches and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pieces, adding more oil, if necessary, until all are browned.
• Add onion slices to the same skillet and stir, coating onions with pan drippings, until onion slices have separated and are just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Move onions to one side of the skillet and return browned steak pieces to the skillet. Spread steak evenly in the skillet and place onions on top.
• Stir together water, beef base, and Worcestershire sauce in a microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and pour into the skillet. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the steak is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the steak from the skillet and add reserved 1/2 cup of flour to the pan drippings. Increase heat to medium; stir briskly and cook until bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in milk and keep stirring until gravy bubbles again. Return steak, onions, and any accumulated juices to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Take partially thawed round steak and slice into thin strips, leave small amount of fat. This helps impart flavor.
• Pour small amount of olive oil into cast iron skillet. Heat until you can see oil shimmer. Add steak to skillet and stir until browned remove to plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Slice onions, bell peppers and musrooms fairly thick and set aside. Add seasoings to yums yums stuck to bottom of skillet and also add chicken stock. Scrape to release flavors at bottom of skillet. Add 1 large can of reduced sodium chicken stock to drippings and cornstarch to make the gravy. Return steak to skillet and simmer 30 minutes until meat is tender and gravy is thickened.
• Add onions, mushrooms and pepper to steak and gravy. Cut off burner and let it continue to cook itself, covered with the lid, for next 15 minutes. I do mine this way because I like the veggies to have "bite "to them. Serve over hot steamed rice.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degree F. Mince your garlic, shallot or onions, and slice the mushrooms, set aside.
• 2. Salt and pepper your steaks.
• 3. In a large oven proof frying pan ( I use my iron skillet) add about 2 tablespoons of the oil and cook the steaks on medium high heat for about 6 minutes on each side.
• 4. Place the skillet in the oven and continue cooking till desired doneness.
• 5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm, while preparing the sauce. In the same skillet add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt,and pepper.
• 6. Cook on medium high heat until mushrooms are tender. Stir in the onion, thyme, and minced garlic; cook until soft.
• 7. Stir in the Marsala wine scraping any pan drippings from the bottom of the pan. Add the Worcestershire sauce and cook over medium high heat until mixture is reduced to about 3/4 its original volume and then stir in the lemon juice.
• 8. Plate your steak and spoon sauce and mushrooms over your steak. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Stir flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl. Sprinkle pieces of steak with flour mixture and pound the flour mixture into the meat with a meat mallet or the edge of a sturdy plate.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the floured beef in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low, pour in water, cover skillet, and simmer beef until tender, about 1 hour. Add more water to the skillet if needed to prevent burning.
• Mix diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Pour tomato mixture over beef, bring to a simmer, and cook until sauce has thickened, about 30 more minutes.

Steps:

• In small bowl mix 4 seasonings.
• Place flour in a flat surfaced dish (save unused flour for smothering).
• Sprinkle front and back side of each steak piece and rub deep into groves of steak.
• Heat oil to medium high in skillet (cast iron is best).
• Dredge each piece in flour, press in with finger tips. Re-dredge in flour again and place carefully in hot oil for 1 minute and then turn back heat to medium.
• Fry steak 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove, drain on a separate plate.
• Remove all but 2-3 Tbs of oil, over medium high heat, sprinkle with 3 Tbs flour, whisking until well mixed and roux browns.
• Add water, bouillon cube and remaining seasoning. Mix until gravy begins to thicken slightly. Test taste for spice as this is the time to adjust (salt or water).
• Replace steak back in gravy and spread onion rings over the tops.
• Cover and simmer 30-40 minutes.

Steps:

• For the hamburger steaks: Whisk together the mustard, smoked paprika, egg, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Mix in the ground beef and breadcrumbs by hand, then form into 4 oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
• Set a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the patties and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the patties to a plate; set aside.
• For the onion and mushroom gravy: Turn the heat down to medium and add the mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and are browned, about 8 minutes. (The mushrooms might seem dry at first, but will eventually release liquid and add moisture to the pan.) Transfer the mushrooms to a plate; set aside.
• Melt the butter in the pan, add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, until the butter and liquid are absorbed, about 1 minute. Pour the broth and Worcestershire into the pan and stir until the flour is dissolved.
• Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir the mushrooms back into the pan and nestle in the beef patties. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium low. Let simmer until the sauce has thickened and a thermometer inserted into the patties registers 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
• Turn the patties over a few times to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and top with the parsley.

Steps:

• Saute onion and bell pepper in hot drippings 7 minutes or until tender.
• Add diced tomatoes and remaining 3 ingredients to skillet. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Return the steaks to the skillet; cover and cook over low heat 55 to 60 minutes or until tender.

Steps:
