Moist Steak With Sauce

I did not use bottom round steak. I could not find a nice bottom round while shopping. So I opted to use sirloin steaks. This required a few recipe changes, but worked quite well in my opinion.

I started with sautéing the mushrooms and onions together until they were almost done. I know with the bottom round, they would have been in the oven to soften. With the sirloin, there was no way I was cooking them for two hours, so I wanted to soften them up a bit first.

I browned the steaks in the same pan as the onions and mushrooms, pushing the vegetables to the side.

I removed the steaks from the pan before adding the tomato sauce. I used the sauce to deglaze the pan and scrape up the browned bits.

Making sure the steaks were well buried in the sauce, I simmered them over low heat for about 10 minutes instead of putting them in the oven.

This method worked great providing a nicely seasoned, moist steak at the end.

So I did not follow the recipe exactly, but I think I got the same end result. It was a great way to serve steak with a little different touch.
