How to Make Barbecued Round Steak

  1. Cut round steak(s) (about 1.5 lbs total) into crosswise slices about 1/2 inch wide.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the steak slices in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Use a slotted spoon to remove the browned meat to a baking dish.
  5. Set aside.
  6. Pour off excess fat from the skillet. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) to the skillet.
  7. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Pour the barbecue sauce over the steak in the baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour.
  10. Uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the steak is fork-tender.
  11. Serve immediately over rice or mashed potatoes, with a side salad. Serves 4-6.
