Tips For Steak & Mushroom Success

Be sure to tenderize the steaks with a meat mallet before browning. This allows the steaks to become infused with flavor and to cook evenly.
Take care not to overbrown the steaks since they are very thin.
If the steaks aren’t fork-tender, continue to bake.

Storing Steak Leftovers

Store leftover round steak and mushrooms in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on low on the stovetop with a little broth to loosen the sauce if needed.
Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 4 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Using the textured side of a meat mallet, pound meat to ½″ thickness. Season steaks with salt & pepper.
