Units Scale
  • 1 to 1 1/4 pound top round steak
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour

Equipment

Notes

  • If using a different cut of meat, adjust the cook time, accordingly.
  • Feel free to leave out the mushrooms.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, use a gluten-free substitute for the flour and make sure you are using a gluten-free Worcestershire sauce.
  • Simmer until the steak is tender (you should be able to cut the steak with a spoon).
  • To use a slow cooker, sear the meat, onions and mushrooms first, then add to a slow cooker with the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for about 7 hours. 
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, thicken with a cornstarch slurry after the dish has simmered long enough for the steak to become tender. 
  • Spoon over rice, noodles, mashed potatoes, mashed cauliflower, or even risotto.
