Round Steak with Sour Cream Gravy
- Cooking spray
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound boneless top round steak, slightly flattened with a meat mallet, quartered, all visible fat discarded
- 2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle pepper sauce or red hot-pepper sauce
- Preheat the oven to 300F.
- Lightly spray a 1 1/2-quart glass baking dish (11x7 or 8 inches) with cooking spray.
- In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, chipotle chile powder, pepper, and salt.
- Dip one piece of steak in the flour mixture, turning to coat.
- Gently shake off the excess flour.
- Put the steak on a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining steak.
- In a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the steaks in a single layer, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom.
- Cook the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned, being careful when turning so the coating does not stick to the skillet.
- Transfer the steaks to the baking dish.
- In the same skillet, cook the onion over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until soft, stirring frequently.
- Remove from the heat.
- Stir in the garlic.
- Spoon over the steaks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the gravy ingredients until smooth.
- Pour over the steaks.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until the steaks are tender.
- Pounding less tender cuts of meat, such as round steak, with the waffle side of a meat mallet breaks down the meat fibers, increasing the tenderness.
