Oven Smothered Steak Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Dice carrots, celery and onion.
• 2. Cut meat into large cubes, drizzle with olive oil. Season with garlic, onion pwd., mrs. dash, & pepper. Rub to coat meat well, then sprinkle enough flour to lightly coat meat. Drizzle with a little Worcestershire sauce.
• 3. Place steak in a large cast iron or oven proof skillet, baking dish or dutch oven. Add vegetables on top. Pour enough hot water into pan to come almost to top of meat, cover bake 400* for 30 min., reduce to 325* bake for 1 1/2 hours, checking liquid level half way through. Add more water or broth if level is very low.
• 4. Remove from oven, add peas and mushrooms if desired, stir in with meat, add more water or broth to bring liquid back up if needed and simmer on stove top for about 20 min. IF NOT adding mushrooms or peas, go straight to next step.
• 5. Remove from oven, if broth is too thin, thicken with a cornstarch/water mix (Use 1 tbsp. cornstarch with 1 c cold water or milk) and simmer for about 5 min. Season with salt & pepper to taste. TIP: To darken your broth, add a tsp of Kitchen Bouquet at end of cooking.
• 6. Serve over potatoes, rice or pasta.

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:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Add all of the dry spices together in a bowl and mix.
• 3. Sprinkle the entire roast with the dry seasonings, rubbing them well into the meat.
• 4. Place the beef into a baking pan.
• 5. Sprinkle the liquid smoke over the meat.
• 6. Cover the pan completely with foil and place in oven for 60 minutes.
• 7. Remove foil and bake for 15 to 30 minutes, (depending on how rare you prefer your beef) and allow the top to brown.
• 8. Remove beef from oven, cover and let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• 9. Slice against the grain and serve.

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:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place steak pieces in baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
