how should I prepare 2 lb (3 steaks) beef bottom round?

Question

I don't have an oven safe skillet... I have cream soups, onions, some gravy mixes... help!

Answer 1

Brown the steaks in a skillet and then put them in a crock pot with cream of mushroom soup and let cook for 7 hours I call it crock pot steak and everyone loves it..

Answer 2

This is delicious but a bit messy to eat so feed it to friends. I'm not good at quantities but they don't matter a lot. You need one generous flat-ish soup plate per person. Basically you make two separate recipes and combine at the very last minute. The first recipe is a standard salad made with plain old iceberg lettuce leaves, which you dress with a French dressing that's got a lot of mustard in it. Turn the lettuce lots of times so that it's well covered and then distribute it between the soup plates and put it them in the fridge so they they'll be really cold come service time. The second recipe is made on the hob. Basic ingredients: your steak, cut into bite-size pieces; chick peas (tinned are fine); cumin seed; chili; garlic; olive oil. You want roughtly equal volumes of meat and chick peas in the final product. Heat the olive oil and very quickly cook the meat on all sides; remove from pan. Into pan put chick peas, garlic (I usually use some form of instant garlic); cumin; chili; and cook at medium-low heat, constantly stirring and checking your seasoning. When it tastes OK, add the meat to the pan and start to heat through, checking the seasoning again - it should be spicy hot and the cumin quite noticeable. Right. One dish at a time, take out your ice-cold salad and place a heap of the meat/chick pea mixture in the middle. Don't mix. No time for politeness - let people start theirs as soon as they get it. The mixture of textures, temperatures, and spices is wonderful!!!!! Worth trying a couple of times before giving to strangers so that you know what proportions work for you.

It would help to have a crock pot. You don't have to cook them in the oven, get a frying pan and brown them. Then mix together (if you have it) Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup (the key is that it is Golden mushroom...cream of mushroom would work, but golden is better) with some dry Lipton onion soup mix stir those 2 together, if you have some red wine mix that in, then put this over the tops of the steaks and cover and simmer for as long as you can. I cook mine in the oven all day and it falls apart but a couple of hours will work too. I am terrible at knowing the names of my meats so if bottom round is tough the longer you cook it the better. If it is a good pc of meat it won't require so much. Good luck and bon appetite!

Easy Crockpot Beef Roast

1 chuck, rump, or other Beef Roast (sized for your crockpot)
1/2 Cup of Water
1 Packet of Ranch Dressing Mix
1 Packet of Italian Dressing Mix
1 Packet of Brown Gravy Mix

Put roast in crockpot, pour water around the base. Sprinkle all 3 dry seasoning packets over roast. Cover and cook for 6-7 hours on low. Remove roast to cutting board and let sit 15 minutes; slice thinly across the grain (electric knife works best).

It makes great tasting gravy too, that tastes like you browned it and simmered it all day on the stove.

I don't know if you will be able to fix this recipe for your intended meal, but for future reference, Beef Sauerbraten and a pasta or rice dish are incredible! :)
