Casserole Steak

I know it goes by many names but in my family this round steak dish has always been known as casserole steak.  It's perfect for the crock pot so it can slowly cook all day in it's gravy and tenderize.  I always associate it with fall and served with squash and tomatoes.

Casserole Steak

1 pound round steak, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups water
1/2 cup ketchup


In a small bowl, combine flour and spices.  Dredge steak pieces and place in a heated frying pan with the olive oil.  Brown on both sides and place meat in the crock pot.  In the same frying pan with the leftover oil, whisk together water, leftover flour mixture and ketchup on the burner and season to taste.  Pour over steak and cover the crock pot and cook for 8 hours.
