When it comes to old-fashioned, down-home cooking, our Round Steak and Gravy recipe really hits a home run!

ROUND STEAK It’s an inexpensive cut of meat, but that doesn’t mean it has to be tough. The key is to cook it very low and slow (just like when making Swiss Steak).

If possible choose either beef round tip or preferably, the top round, which is the tenderest portion of the round.

MUSHROOMS & ONIONS Fried mushrooms and onions make the gravy so savory, especially slow-cooked in the oven right with the beef!

BROTH Beef broth is combined together with Worcestershire sauce and thyme leaves. It’s tasty gravy perfection!
