Round Steak with Mushrooms

My hubby recently went grocery shopping and picked up a package of round steak…thinking we’d have a nice, tender, juicy steak for dinner. As we know, round steak is far from juicy, and even farther from tender. Thus, I tend to shy away from round steak. As a matter of fact, I have very few recipes that call for round steak. So, I went on a search for dinner options using this hunk of meat. Low and behold, I found a recipe for round steak with mushrooms and decided to give it a try. Much to my surprise, the end result was quite tender and very flavorful, with a tasty gravy. This can be served with mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Thanks to Spending with Pennies for sharing this tasty recipe.
