Round steak comes from the cow’s rear leg. It’s divided into cuts like the eye round and bottom round. You can buy it as a whole roast or sliced steaks at stores like Aldi.

Also known as rump roast, it’s very lean. This makes it tough, so it needs slow cooking. The recipe is for 1-inch thick slices. Adjust cooking time for different thicknesses.

This recipe uses McCormick Onion Gravy. Don’t use onion soup mix instead. If you can’t find McCormick, use another brown or mushroom gravy mix.

Want to thicken your gravy? Mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with ¼ cup of cold water. Stir it into the gravy and cook until it thickens. Or, drain the gravy, add the slurry, and simmer until it thickens.

Mashed potatoes are great for soaking up gravy. Try my Creamiest Mashed Potatoes. For a fancy dinner, serve them with my perfectly cooked filet.
