Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 Sprinkle each side of the round steak pieces with salt and pepper, rubbing seasoning into the meat.
2. 2 Combine 1/2 cup flour and garlic powder in a 1-gallon resealable bag. Add steak pieces, seal bag, and shake to evenly coat all the pieces.
3. 3 Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add seasoned and floured steak pieces to the skillet in a single layer in batches and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining pieces, adding more oil, if necessary, until all are browned.
4. 4 Add onion slices to the same skillet and stir, coating onions with pan drippings, until onion slices have separated and are just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Move onions to one side of the skillet and return browned steak pieces to the skillet. Spread steak evenly in the skillet and place onions on top.
5. 5 Stir together water, beef base, and Worcestershire sauce in a microwave-safe container. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and pour into the skillet. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the steak is tender, about 45 minutes.
6. 6 Remove the steak from the skillet and add reserved 1/2 cup of flour to the pan drippings. Increase heat to medium; stir briskly and cook until bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
7. 7 Stir in milk and keep stirring until gravy bubbles again. Return steak, onions, and any accumulated juices to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ beef base
• olive oil
• onion
• garlic
• water
• worcestershire sauce
• onion powder
• thyme
• sugar
• salt
• black pepper
• sour cream

Instructions

1. 1 Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup water, Worcestershire, beef base, onion powder, and thyme. Increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until beef base is dissolved.
2. 2 Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 to 45 minutes. Liquid will slowly evaporate and onions will caramelize. If onions start to stick to the pan, throw in a splash of water and scrape up the delicious bits. Taste before adding sugar, salt, and pepper. Once seasoned to your liking, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. 3 Mix cooled onions with sour cream until well combined. Chill for 1 hour before serving.

• salt
• water
• red wine
• thyme
• oregano
• garlic powder
• onion
• carrot

Instructions

1. 1 To make the roast: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Trim any thick pieces of dense, hard fat from roast, but leave smaller areas of fat in place.
2. 2 Mix beef base and garlic together in a bowl. Mix thyme, oregano, peppercorns, and salt together in a separate bowl. Rub beef base mixture generously all over roast, then sprinkle with herb mixture. Place roast into a heavy-based roasting pan.
3. 3 Roast in the preheated oven until meat has formed a brown crust, about 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let stand while you make the sauce; the temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees F as it rests.
4. 4 To make the au jus: Whisk water and beef base together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until base dissolves. Whisk in red wine, thyme, oregano, and garlic powder, then add onion, carrot, and celery. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce reduces by about half, 20 to 30 minutes. Strain au jus and discard vegetables. Serve with roast.
