Ingredients

• 2 pounds round steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 0.5 cup dry red wine (optional)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the round steak and cut it into manageable portions, if necessary.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

Step 3

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is shimmering, add the steak and sear each side for 3–4 minutes until well-browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley, allowing them to release their aroma for about 30 seconds.

Step 7

Add the beef broth and red wine (if using) to the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.

Step 8

Return the steak to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steak simmer for 75–90 minutes, or until tender. Turn the steak halfway through cooking and occasionally check to ensure there is enough liquid; add a bit more broth or water if needed.

Step 9

Once the steak is tender, remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving platter.

Step 10

Turn the heat to medium-high and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes to slightly reduce it. Whisk in the butter to add richness.

Step 11

Pour the sauce over the steak and garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
