Units
Scale
- 2 pounds beef round steak, cut into serving pieces
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 2 medium green bell peppers, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Lightly dredge each piece of beef in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sear the beef on both sides until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté onion, green bell peppers, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic until softened.
- Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the beef to the pan, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, until the beef is fork tender.
- Meanwhile, boil the russet potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
- Mash the potatoes with unsalted butter and warm whole milk until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust seasoning in the gravy if needed. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the steak before serving.
- Serve the tender beef and vegetables over creamy mashed potatoes with plenty of gravy.
Notes
- Brown the beef well before simmering for deeper flavor.
- Cook on low heat to ensure tender meat.
- This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
