Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs round steak
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Season steak with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear steak until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add onion to the pot with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until soft and browned at the edges, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  3. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up browned bits. Add bay leaf. Return steak and any juices to the pot and bring to a simmer.
  4. Cover and braise in the oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until fork-tender.
  5. Transfer steak to a platter, discard bay leaf. Simmer gravy on the stovetop to thicken if needed. Spoon gravy over the steak, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

If the steak is still firm after 2 1/2 hours, continue braising covered until it shreds easily, adding a splash of broth if the liquid runs low.
