How can you cook Round Steak and make it tender I already know low heat anything else? how do YOU season them?

Question

I only seasoned it with tony's meat tenderizer and onion powder is there any way to make it not so tough?

And If you know to cook rump roast or any other type of roast please let me know how to do that too.

On a budget so I got to learn to cook better meals.

Answer 1

One of the things I make with round steak is smothered steak.

Cut steak into pieces and dredge in flour.  Heat oil in frypan and brown meat well  on both sides.  When you turn it over the first time, add 1 cup chopped onion.  When browned, cover with water, scrape the brown bits off the bottom and simmer for 2-3 hrs.  Add sliced carrots.  Cook another 15 minutes.  Thicken with flour and water.  Serve with mashed potatotes.

Answer 2

Round is not really a good cut of meat for steak(grilling).

You can use it for Roasting(slow, low heat) and for Braising(wet moist heat)

Best cuts for Pot Roast and Stews is Chuck cuts as they are usually inexpensive and have good flavor.

You may want to by a Jaquarder- Its a tool with spring loaded blades for tenderizing meat. Good for tasty but tough cuts you want to marinate and grill.

I would reccomend you look on the food network for Alton Browns reccomendations on how to cook a Roast for your rump roast. He will not steer(bad pun) you wrong.

Answer 3

Poke it with a fork a thousand times before cooking

Answer 4

first of all you should get a young calf meat slaughtered not even a year of age, flavour it with cajun spice,bread crums bit of butter and papain (enzyme extract from young papaya as a tenderizing agent) and marinate over the night before grill im sure its gonna be a hit a killer infact.

Answer 5

Do you have a crock pot?  If you do, put a pack of round steak, 1 can golden mushroom soup, and 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix + 1 can water.  Put it all together in crock pot and let it cook on low all day, example 9-5 or 10-6.  Serve with mashed potatoes.if you do not have have a crock pot, then i would suggets browning the meat in a little butter then adding the rest of ingredients, bring to boil , and cook low-med 4-5 hours.  Good luck and hope this helps.  This was my favorite when i was a kid and is my daughters favorite, it is so easy.

Answer 7

The best way to cook round steak is always to pound it. If you have a meat mallet it works best, but you can use any tool that will flatten the meat to thin, but don't tear it. Pound in flour, salt & pepper, garlic powder and any steak seasoning you like. Cook it slow in a frying pan, covering it after you have browned it on both sides. You can add one of those gravy mixes in the packets that you mix w/water, covering the meat. There are many flavors with or without mushrooms-Onion gravy is always  good, even the gravy that comes in the can is always good too. Also, try razzledazzlerecipes.com (as I tell everyone) The website has anything & everything you might want to cook and easy instructions how to, lots of beef & pork roast recipes. I have tried them and was very happy with the results. You can check on the round steak there too. Good luck to you, I'm sure you will do fine.
