Ingredients

• 2 pounds round steak
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the round steak and slice it into portion-sized pieces, approximately 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Season the steak pieces on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Set up a breading station with one shallow bowl of flour, a second shallow bowl with buttermilk whisked with eggs, and another shallow bowl with the remaining flour.

Step 5

Dredge each steak piece in the flour, dip it into the buttermilk mixture, and then coat it in the final bowl of flour. Ensure the steak pieces are well-coated.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the breaded steak pieces in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the fried steaks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Arrange the browned steak pieces in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Scatter the sliced onion over the top.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture over the steak and onions in the baking dish.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 10

While the steak is baking, make a slurry by whisking the cornstarch with water in a small bowl.

Step 11

After 40 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish and stir the cornstarch slurry into the gravy. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.

Step 12

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the baked southern fried round steak rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or cornbread.
