Description

This eye of round steak recipe features herb-seasoned beef and caramelized onions simmered in a flavorful Burgundy red wine sauce until fork tender.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large onions, sliced
12 (4 ounce) beef eye of round steaks
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup all-purpose flour for coating
1 cup Burgundy wine
1 cup beef consomme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer onions to a bowl.
2 Season steaks with seasoned salt and thyme, then dust lightly with flour. Fry steaks in the skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
3 Pour red wine and beef consommé into the skillet with steaks. Return onions to the skillet. Cook until the aroma of wine dissipates, 2 to 3 minutes.
4 Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Serve steaks with sauce, garnish with chopped parsley.
