Quick Round Steak -- Comfort Food image

This came from my mother-in-law via my wife. It's always been a family favorite, especially in cool/cold weather. It does require a pressure cooker, but I believe more people should learn to cook with one. It's fast! And it makes one of the tougher cuts of beef into a melt-in-your-mouth comfort food. I've never seen any written directions that I know of. Just experiment a little and you'll come up with your own!

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs boneless round steak
3/4 cup flour
salt and pepper
garlic powder or minced garlic
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

  • Cut the round steak into pieces about the size for one serving -- maybe 2-3 inches by 4-5 inches.
  • Season meat with salt, pepper, garlic.
  • Dredge in white flour (both sides).
  • Brown meat in 1/2 cup (+/-) oil in skillet or bottom of pressure cooker.
  • Empty the soup cans into the pressure cooker. (If you used it for browning, be sure to pour off excess oil.).
  • Add the meat -- unless it's still in the pressure cooker :).
  • Mix meat gently into soup concentrate, making sure that each piece is coated on both sides.
  • Following the directions for your pressure cooker, cover and seal.
  • Place the "rocker" on the top steam vent.
  • Cook over medium-high heat.
  • When the "rocker" begins rocking, you can reduce heat as long as it keeps rocking.
  • Cook for ten to twelve minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Following directions for your cooker, allow to cool on a trivet or hasten the cooling with water running into a sink.
  • DO NOT remove the rocker until the pressure has gone down.
  • Open lid when the pressure lock permits.
  • Serve hot with mashed potatoes and vegetable of your choice.
  • (Increase or decrease amounts carefully! The amount of meat can be varied, but doubling the meat doesn't mean you need to double the amount of oil.).
