Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds round steak
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the round steak and cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Season the steak cubes with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the steak cubes and toss to coat.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and sear on all sides until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Finely dice the yellow onion. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the steak cubes to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the sauce to thicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the dish before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot over your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles.
