Ingredients for 1949 Country Style Steak

  • Round Steaks
  • 1/2 cup seasoned flour (all-purpose flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • Mushroom
  • Water
  • Cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Paprika
  • Sour Cream

How to Make 1949 Country Style Steak

  1. Cut steak (about 1.5 lbs) into 4 serving sizes. Dredge each piece in 1/2 cup seasoned flour.
  2. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, and 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion.
  3. Cook until onions are tender and mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add another 1/4 cup butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the steak and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup beef broth, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  6. Return the mushroom mixture to the skillet.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the steak is tender enough to cut with a fork, about 8-10 minutes. Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness and desired doneness.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
