Note

Serve this hearty dish over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.

For a richer flavor, you can marinate the beef in the Worcestershire sauce for a few hours before cooking.

If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the simmering sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often improve the next day.

Round steak is a lean cut that benefits from long, slow cooking to break down connective tissue, resulting in tender meat.
