Pan-Fried Beef Round Steak with Onions is a simple yet flavorful dish that combines tender thin slices of beef round steak with caramelized onions. The beef is quickly seared and then paired with sweet, golden onions, creating a delicious and satisfying meal. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners and pairs well with mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.

Ingredients

  • 4 thinly sliced beef round steaks (about 1.5 lbs total)
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 large onions, thinly sliced
    Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

  • 1. Prepare the Steak:
    Season 4 thinly sliced beef round steaks with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder on both sides.
  • 2. Caramelize the Onions:Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.Add 2 thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the onions are soft and caramelized. Lower the heat if necessary to prevent burning.Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
  • 3. Cook the Steak:
    In the same skillet, add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
    Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the seasoned beef round steaks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. If your skillet is small, cook the steaks in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • 4. Combine the Steak and Onions:
    Once the steak is cooked, return the caramelized onions to the skillet.
    Stir and cook together for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • 5. Serve:
    Serve the pan-fried beef round steaks hot, topped with the caramelized onions.
    Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or a green salad.

Notes

  • Advice:
    For tender beef, slice the round steaks thinly and cook quickly over medium-high heat to avoid overcooking.
    Add extra flavor by sautéing some garlic or mushrooms along with the onions.
    The onions should be caramelized slowly to develop a deep sweetness that complements the beef.
