This recipe is so ridiculously easy that I almost feel silly sharing it! But, I made it yesterday after probably 10 years of not, & it reminded just how good it really is! I added ingredients to it through the years. This was one of the very first things I ever cooked that came out good way back when. :) This is great for the little ones, as the steak just falls apart with a fork. Also, after browning the steak, you can make this in your slow cooker, if you prefer. Reduce water to only 1/2-3/4 cup if you use slow cooker, though. Tastes awesome reheated too!

How To Make fork tender steak casserole

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2
    Pound round steak w/ meat mallet until tenderized & flattened. Salt & pepper. Coat w/ flour. Fry until browned on both sides in cooking oil in a Dutch Oven. (If there's excess grease in the Oven, get rid of that. If you don't use too much oil, it shouldn't be a problem.)
  • 3
    Lay potatoes & carrots on top of steak.
  • 4
    Whisk water, steak sauces, onion soup, wine, until well blended. Pour over the main ingredients. Cover and bake for 2 - 2.5 hours at 350 degrees. Or add to crockpot and cook on low for 6/7 hours or high on 3/4. When it's done, there will be a lovely sauce and the meat will flake with a fork. Enjoy!
