Well, my husband just loved this and had to have mashed potatoes with it to sop up the gravy. I will definetaly be making this again and again! Thanks so much!

I found the recipe to be way too salty and it had a "box" flavor from the soup mix. If I prepared this recipe again, I would definitely saute some fresh onions in olive oil or butter for topping the steak, before putting the mushroom soup on top. Also, I would use "cubed" round steak vs. pounding flour into the meat, as described. This would save a great deal of mess.....

I would have given this 4 stars, but my husband didn't really like this. He thought it came out too tough and a bit salty. I'll probably try this with low sodium soup. Also, it seemed to need much less time cooking--was that possibly why it was tough? It was done very quickly, but maybe I needed to let it just simmer on the stove top. I was afraid the gravy would burn, though (and I was very hungry!) so maybe I should have just followed the directions better. Oh, I also only used 1/2 a packet of soup mix and that seemed to add plenty of flavor.
