Description

This Ragout A La Berghof is a comforting, rustic German dish that transforms humble round steak into a tender, flavorful masterpiece. The beef simmers slowly in a rich sauce made with dry white wine, beef broth, and a touch of Worcestershire for depth. Fresh mushrooms, green bell peppers, and onions add earthy sweetness and texture, while a butter-flour rouche creates a velvety coating. It is an excellent choice for a cozy family dinner or a hearty lunch. Serve over buttered noodles or dumplings to soak up every drop of the savory sauce. Simple ingredients come together to create a dish that feels both home-style and elegant.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the boneless round steak into thin strips.
  2. Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the beef strips in the melted butter.
  4. Remove the browned meat from the pan and set aside.
  5. In the same pan with the remaining butter, sauté the chopped onion for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the chopped green bell pepper and sliced mushrooms to the pan.
  7. Cook the vegetables for an additional 3 minutes.
  8. Melt 1/4 cup of butter and whisk in the flour to create a roux.
  9. Slowly stir in the beef broth, cooking until the mixture thickens.
  10. Stir in the dry white wine, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce to taste.
  11. Return the browned meat and the vegetable mixture to the pan.
  12. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.

Note

Serve this hearty ragout with buttered noodles or traditional German dumplings to soak up the flavorful sauce.

If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of Tabasco sauce gradually to suit your taste.

Any leftover ragout can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if the sauce has thickened too much.

Round steak is a lean cut that benefits from slow cooking. Ensure it simmers gently to become tender rather than chewy.
