Dad's Round Steak

Submitted by BETHANY T.

"There is nothing fancy about this recipe. My dad was a steak lover, but it was rarely in the budget to buy "good" steaks for our family of five. My mother wasn't much of a cook, so all of us kids loved it when Dad took over the kitchen. This was one of his best. I miss him so much."

This is so easy, and tastes so good!! I have made it several times, and have done it in the slow cooker as will, using slightly less liquid. I has turned out excellent every time. We serve it over buttered egg noodles. This time, I'm trying it with mushrooms, per the request of my kids. I'm sure it will be great. I use gallon size freezer bags to contain the flour mess during the pounding process, which has worked well to keep the mess down. Both are delicious, it's a matter of what your taste is. I love this dish!! It may be a stretch to call my creation, but the result was a meal the whole family will liked. MY was Not better, not worse, just different ! I've will added this to my recipe book "AS IS" and with my additions TOO. I have two way to do it!! THANK YOU!! I can do the happy food dance!! NOW !! THANK YOU!! 7 Stars Thanks for posting it!!!

This is a terrific quick weeknight meal. I made as directed then topped with a jar of store-bought gravy and a jar of mushrooms along with homemade mashed potatoes. Hubby thought I had slaved all day for it! Thanks Bethany, this is definitely a keeper :)

My mom used to make something like this as well, but it just doesn't hit it for me and my husband. I think I must be doing something wrong - it's just very tough! I've made it twice though - thanks for sharing, the story was the best part! :)
