Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds round steak Choose a tender cut
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced For best flavor, use sweet onions
  • 2 cups beef broth Low sodium recommended
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Adds depth of flavor
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Used for searing the steak
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Optional, for thickening

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Season the round steak with salt and pepper, and place it in the skillet. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until nicely browned.
  3. Remove the steak and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions.
  4. Cook the onions until soft and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Return the round steak to the skillet, and stir in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a bubbling simmer.
  2. Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for about 30-40 minutes until the steak is tender.
  3. If using, mix the flour with a little cold water to create a slurry. Stir it into the gravy during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
  4. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice, ladling the onion gravy generously.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat on the stove with a splash of beef broth.
