Meatloaf Seasoned Round Steak

Our Thanksgiving leftovers were divine, but I craved something a little different and yet still was in the mood for comfort food last weekend.  I ran across a terrific site called "Deep South Dish."  Every single one of her recipes looks like something I want on my dinner table!  When I copied this recipe down, I thought it would taste like BBQ round steak.  She has it named "Barbeque Round Steak", but really, this dish tasted like round steak turned into meatloaf (if you can imagine that).  This was a wonderful solution for me because my husband has never tried meatloaf (imagine that?) and never will.  He claims he doesn't want stuff all mixed together and that he likes his meat to taste like meat.  He's a little finicky to say the least.  So, I made this recipe (a version of it anyway) and told him (because I believed it to be so) that it was like homemade BBQ sauce on round steak.  It didn't taste like BBQ to me.  But it did taste like delicious meatloaf - just not with hamburger, bread crumbs, egg, etc.  My husband loved this dish and he said he will look forward to eating this again!  I was thrilled because I love me some meatloaf and this will fit the bill as far as I'm concerned!


This is how I made Meatloaf Seasoned Round Steak AT HOME MY WAY:


MEATLOAF SEASONED ROUND STEAK



  • 2-3 pounds Bottom Round Steak
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon season salt (like Lowrey's)
  • 2 Tablespoons bacon fat
  • 1 Tablespoon onion powder
  • 2/3 cup Ketchup
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Worchestershire
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Tablespoon yellow Prepared Mustard
  • Splash Hot Sauce 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Put bacon grease in skillet to heat.  Combine flour & season salt.  Dredge meat in flour mixture.  Fry on each side until brown (not cooked all the way, you will be baking the meat in the oven).  Combine remaining ingredients in bowl.  Place meat in baking dish, cover with sauce mixture.  Bake 1 1/2 hour covered.  Check periodically to see if it is "cooking out".  If so, just pour in a little (like 1/2 cup) water.

We ate this with baked potatoes and a vege.  It was a feast!  I will be making this again FOR SURE!
