How to Make Round Steak In It S Own Gravy
- Season a 2-3 pound round steak generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Sear the round steak on all sides until nicely browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Add 1/2 cup of water to the pot.
- Cover the pot and reduce heat to low.
- Simmer for 1 hour, adding 1/4 cup of water every 15 minutes. As the gravy accumulates, carefully skim off and reserve about 1 cup of the fat for later use.
- After 1 hour, increase heat to medium-low, and skim off excess fat from the gravy. Use up to 1/2 cup of reserved fat to help brown the steak further (this helps to achieve a deeper flavor) for an additional 30-45 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
- Add 1 beef bouillon cube (crumbled) and the cornstarch slurry to the gravy. Stir well and simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove the steak from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing it against the grain.
- Return the sliced steak to the pot with the gravy, and simmer for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the delicious round steak and gravy over a bed of steamed rice.
