Pretty tasty.

Yummy!

I must have missed something with this one. The steak came out chewy, pretty bland, and watery. I ended up draining out the water and adding more garlic salt, cumin, chili powder and paprika. Now I can say yummy!! However the steak was still kinda chewy, not sure if was because of the cut or just being over cooked, but at least it tasted good. Next time I think I will sear the steak whole with the spices, in a seperate pan. then let it rest, slice it and add it to the veggies or just serve it on top of the veggies, and add it last minute. This dish has great potential!!

I believe it was the water that did that. I’d say less water and to make sure you are using a thick enough round steak. I use thin cut sirloin because I had leftover meat and it also turned out chewy…But I still like a different texture every so often.

I thought olive oil was only okay to use as a dressing?
Can you grill the stake vs. cooking on the stove?

@Julia – Thanks for pointing that out. I thought we’d amended all the olive oil recipes, but I guess this one escaped us. I fixed it. And yes, you can always grill the steak vs. cooking on the stove.

So are the carrots raw ?
Neely
@Mdosornia – Yes, but you’re welcome to steam them if you’d like.

Needs more spices. Also, I even went and bought grass fed beef, and I also think was too chewy. Maybe a different cut of meat.

I agree. If I make this again, I’ll use a different cut of meat. Every single time I’ve made anything with top round, ever ever, it comes out uninteresting. I think it’s the cut. (And for this recipe, I made the meat separately so I didn’t overcook it.) Could I use a pork butt steak or lamb shoulder steak?

Mine turned out perfectly I used a whole round steak. I added more sea salt and the steak was not chewy at all. It was a good cut from a local butcher. I enjoyed the crunch of the carrots.

Just made it aswell. Very chewy, the meat contained so much water it ‘semi-boiled’, making it very chewy. First of 20 of your recepies my girlfriend and i had to agree on wasnt in out taste – however i like the idea of serving a dish like This on a bed of carrots.

I used stirfry beef and marinated it with the garlic powder, salt and pepper for a couple of hours. Stirfried it with the onions in bacon drippings then added the peppers last. The beef was flavorful and tender and the veggies crisp and refreshing. Even my anti-paleo teen enjoyed it.

Was kind of bland. Needs some more seasoning or a little coconut amino marinade. I would steam the carrots also- raw carrots under tender meat and onions didnt work well for me.

We cooked the round steak in a crock pot until we could pull it apart easily with a fork (depending on size 2-4 hrs) then sautéed the veggie in fresh herbs (cilantro, white pepper and fresh lime juice) then ate it rolled up in butter lettuce leaves for a Mexican twist on Thai lettuce wraps

Following the recipe exactly creates a bland meal with chewy meat. Next time I will add other seasoning & choose a different cut of beef.
