Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Total Time: one hour, 50 minutes

Ingredients:

two pounds bottom round steak, cut in to 6 to 8 serving pieces
one cup flour
one teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
three Tablespoons butter
one medium sweet onion, chopped
one clove garlic, chopped (or more to taste)
1/4 cup beef broth
.
For Gravy Mixture:
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sour cream
two Tablespoons cornstarch
one Tablespoon brown sugar
one Tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a baking pan with oil.

Pound steaks to tenderize. Merge flour, salt, pepper, and dry mustard. Coat steak pieces with flour mixture. Brown steak in butter in a heavy skillet. If your skillet is small, do this in batches so as not to crowd the meat. Place browned steaks in prepared baking pan.

Merge water, sour cream, cornstarch, brown sugar, paprika, and salt in a small bowl until smooth. Pour gravy mixture over steak. Cover and bake 45 minutes. Remove cover and return to the oven. Continue to bake another 25 to 45 minutes, depending on thickness of the steak, until tender. Taste gravy and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Saute onion and garlic in drippings until softened. Add beef broth to the skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Pour onions and liquid on top of steak pieces.

Serve with buttered noodles, rice, or potatoes, along with a side salad for a complete meal.
