Fork Tender Baked Round Steak
When I was growing up money was tight and we didn’t usually have steak. However, my mom use to make this delicious Fork Tender Baked Round Steak and I loved it. We use to fight over who would eat the bone marrow from the bone and we ended up taking turns. Now I get the bone marrow all myself…..every time! You won’t believe how delicious this is and it just falls apart. This recipe has so much flavor and it is the best Round Steak recipe I have ever made! Four of us devoured this entire plate of meat at one meal!
Ingredients
Cut your Round Steak into
large serving size pieces.
Salt and pepper both sides of
each piece then coat in flour.
Put the floured meat onto a cutting
board and using a meat tenderizer,
pound the flour into the
meat on both sides.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan
over medium heat.
Add the prepared
meat and cook until lightly browned.
Place the meat in a roaster pan with a lid.
Try not to overlap the meat, keep it flat.
Add the can of beef broth, cover and
bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for
1 hour to 1-1/2 hours or until the liquid
is gone. Check frequently after 1 hour so
it doesn’t over cook and burn. The meat will
be a golden brown, moist and tender.
Remove with a spatula as it will
be so tender it may fall apart, then serve.

Interesting 👍
Thanks seriously is fabulous!
God thing we aren’t your neighbor, or Hubby would be standing at you door looking pitifully hungry every evening. 😀
It looks amazingly easy and most definitely drool worthy.
Hahaha the door would be open! Thanks Robin!
That looks delicious. We ate a lot of round steak growing up and I don’t buy it because it is tough. I will have to try this recipe in the future! Thanks!
Nothing tough about it when it is fixed this way. You won’t even need a knife! Thank you Valerie!
Mouthwatering!!
Thanks!
Looks delicious
Thanks Crystal and Daisy Mae!
Sure thing
Yum!
Thanks I have been eating this my entire life!
Thanks!
Good job, Diane. I’ve started a folder for all the recipes I’m printing. Thanks.
Thank you Barb! I actual print every recipe off. I am making a binder full for my kids for when I leave this earth. I hope you find some good ones! There will be plenty more to come!
Thank you Diane.
I will look for something easier from you to try
Kurian this really isn’t that difficult, just messy when you pound the flour into the meat. This is one of the first recipes I learned to make when I moved out of my parents home. If you follow the step by step directions you will see that you can do this one and it is so worth the effort! Give it a try.
Thank you Diane for the encouragement and tips. It shows how nice and helpful a person you are. I am fortunate to have met you and learn from you. Keep well Diane and take care
Beef and mushrooms go together like peanut butter and jelly! Mouth watering.
Round steak has such a reputation of being tough, this sounds wonderful. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing this one.
It usually is tough but fixed this way you can cut it with a fork! You’re welcome!
I think my Mom cooked steak this way too. Looks absolutely delicious!
Thank you so much💕
oh my! I do have round steak in the freezer. I am going to try your recipe. I grew up in the 1940s, and we too had round steak relatively often. I remember walking to the store and buying $2.00 worth of round steak. My Mom didn’t drive then, and the store was just about half a mile away, When my own kids were growing up in the 1960s we had Swiss Steak on special occasions. I followed your procedure up to the point of the baking, instead of using the oven I simmered the meat on top of the stove for as long as it took, and it made its own gravy. We always use onions, too, browned with the meat. This time I will fix it in the oven…I really like the look of it on your plate. Yummy!
What nice memories! Onions would be a great addition and I can’t wait to hear how you like it. It turns out so tender and with so much flavor. There is never leftovers with this one in my house. My 7 year old grandson even had seconds. Lol
I haven’t tried the oven baked round steak yet, I will soon. I don’t do much cooking anymore, so hope I haven’t lost my touch. 🙂
It’s like riding a bike! 😉
We ate a lot of round steak when I was a kid. With a family of six, it was cheap.
Yes and when fixed right it tastes so tender & delicious. ❤️
This looks really yummy and it’s easy,maybe I can make it someday!
It is very easy and it tastes amazing. Thank you Esther. ❤️
My mom baked round steak too. She had a couple of different things she topped it with to help tenderize it. She like sliced onions and diced tomatoes or cream of mushroom soup. Both were good and very tender.
Your Mom sounds like she is a good cook! Her recipe sounds delicious! I love round steak fixed many different ways. I even use it for my beef jerky.
