This classic American dinner dish features top round steak strips baked until tender in a savoury sauce.

After a long, slow bake, it is finished with a swirl of sour cream for a rich and comforting result, perfect for feeding a crowd. The entire recipe takes about 85 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2.5 pounds top round steak, cut into thin strips
- 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 0.25 cup dry red wine
- 0.25 cup tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf, crumbled
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Method
- Warm 3 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan. Cook the steak strips, turning them, until they brown, which should take 5 to 7 minutes. Move the browned steak into a 3-quart baking dish.
- Pour the last 2 tablespoons of oil into the same pan. Cook the mushrooms, sliced onion and garlic until they become soft, about 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat.
- To the pan, add the dry red wine, tomato paste, flour, salt, pepper and crumbled bay leaf. Whisk the beef broth into this mixture until smooth, then pour it all over the beef in the dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminium foil.
- Turn on your oven and set it to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to preheat.
- Place the covered dish in the hot oven. Bake until the beef becomes tender, which will take 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Carefully stir the sour cream into the hot beef and sauce. Serve immediately.
