So over a year ago we ordered half a cow from a butcher - the meat was a fantastic price, so even though beef isn't our fave, we couldn't pass up on the deal. I have several rather large packages of tenderized round steak sitting in my freezer. The only thing I know to make with it is chicken fried steak. Which isn't something we need to eat on a regular basis. I did make a version of cheese steak sandwiches a while back and they were ok. Any other ideas for this meat?
Browned in a pan, let sit, slice super thin, over a salad. It's not a tender cut so it can't be the star of the show, but most options for combining it with other ingredients (batter, cheese, bread) are asking for a heart attack. Light vinaigrette dressing! Bon Appetit.
Beef tips and rice in the crock pot ?
cut it against the grain to keep it tender. I make it into strips that I cook lightly and use it in recipes like Korean style BBQ, fajitas, stroganoff, there's a few more but that's all I can think of right now.
I never know how to make round steak. The only way I make it is breaded. Brown lightly in a skillet then bake in a warm oven for a longer length of time...
I do a green pepper steak with it. I cube it, lightly flour and brown, add onions, green peppers, a can of tomatos and cover to cook for 45 minutes to an hour on very low heat. I serve it with rice. It uses less flour and oil than chicken fried steak, I use about a table spoon of oil and a little less than a cup of flour to coat.
My family likes it!
We also have used tenderized round steak for fajitas- just cut thin.
If you make pasty's (a really old school recipe) I have used it in those, but we don't eat them much because of the fat. It is a meat and potato pie with onions, parsley, salt and peper- cube round steak and cubed peeled potatoes,, chopped onion- add dots of butter (nearly a quarter cup) all through the filling-all wrapped up in a pastry crust and baked for about an hour. Not very healthy, but delicous.
