Round Steak Crockpot Recipe



Ingredients needed:

* 1 boneless beef round steak (1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and cut into 4 pieces
* 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon of black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon of salt
* 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
* 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
* 3/4 cup of water
* 1 medium onion, quartered
* 1 can of sliced mushrooms, drained (4 ounces)
* 1/4 cup of milk
* 1 package of dry onion soup mix (1 ounce)
* 1 bay leaf
* Seasonings, to taste: Salt, black pepper, ground sage, dried thyme

Preparation steps:

* Place steak in a large resealable plastic food storage bag. Close bag and pound with meat mallet to tenderize steak. Combine flour, 1 teaspoon of pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl; add to bag with steaks. Shake to coat meat evenly.
* Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Remove steak from bag; shake off excess flour. Add steak to skillet; brown both sides. Transfer steak and pan juices to crockpot.
* Add canned soup, water, onion, mushrooms, milk, dry soup mix, bay leaf and seasonings, to taste, to crockpot; mix well. Cover and cook on low for 5 1/2 hours or until steak is tender. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.

(Serves 4)

Note: Browning meat before cooking it in the crockpot is not necessary but helps to enhance the flavor and appearance of the meat.
