Meat and Vegetables

Round steak can be a tough meat. It is great for roasts though. Low and slow cooking is definitely the right way to handle a round steak.

The seasoned flour, pounded into the steaks gives them plenty of seasoning. It always gives them a very thin coat breading.

Searing the steaks helps to lock in the moisture. This in turn locks in the flavor to the steaks.

The potatoes and carrots cook wonderfully in the 45 minutes. They take on the tomato soup flavoring well. Thankfully, they also take on the seasoning from the meat and onions.

I am not a huge fan of peas, but my husband loves them. They do add a nice bit of color to the dish.

It does take about an hour, but honestly it is worth it. The meat is moist and flavorful. The vegetables are soft and perfectly cooked. The seasoning is good - not overly so, but just right.

This is a great one pot dinner!
