Round steak is an inexpensive (read lean) cut of beef that is not well-marbled, which means that it can be tough if under cooked. I have used a slow cooker to prepare this cut before but I have never really been much satisfied with those results. I found this recipe at one of my favorite sites, www.allrecipes.com. You can find so much help in the kitchen there. I have done this one before and it is great and easy to prepare too. Here is the recipe as it appears on the site.
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour 25 Minutes
Servings: 6
Beef eye of round steaks are simmered in a red wine sauce until tender enough to cut with a fork. This is said to be one of former President Ford's favorite recipes.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large onions, sliced
12 (4 ounce) beef eye of round
steaks
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour for
coating
1 cup beef consomme
1 cup Burgundy wine
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl. Season the steaks with thyme and seasoned salt, then dust them lightly with flour. Fry the steaks in the skillet over medium-high heat until browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side.
2. Pour the red wine and beef consomme in with the beef. Return the cooked onions to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until the aroma of wine dissipates, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Serve steaks with the sauce and a garnish of fresh parsley.
