Amish Wedding Steak Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds beef round steak (tenderized)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or lard
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak:
- Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into serving-sized pieces.
- Season and Flour the Steak:
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides well.
- Brown the Steak:
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil or lard over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the steak pieces in batches, browning them on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the browned steak pieces and set them aside.
- Cook the Onions:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Gravy:
- Add the beef broth and water to the skillet with the onions. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Return the browned steak pieces to the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the gravy.
- Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steak simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. The steak should be very tender, and the gravy will thicken.
- Serve:
- Once the steak is tender and the gravy has thickened, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the Amish Wedding Steak hot, with mashed potatoes, noodles, or your favorite side dishes.
Enjoy your Amish Wedding Steak, a comforting and traditional meal that brings a taste of Amish country to your table!
