Fork-tender braised round steak in a savory sauce.

Ranch Round Steak

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Approximately 3 pounds round steak
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1. Combine flour, dry mustard, salt and pepper in medium bowl. Trim the excess fat from round steak; slash the edges to prevent curling. Dredge the round steak in the flour mixture. Reserve the remaining flour mixture.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet and brown the steak on both sides.
3. Combine water and Worcestershire sauce with the reserved flour mixture, stir to remove lumps.
4. Remove meat; add flour mixture to skillet. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Reduce heat, return meat to skillet. Cover, and simmer 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the meat is tender. Serve hot.
