Can anyone share their favorite tried and true recipes for round steak and pork tenderloin. (Not together :-))

I'm still trying to come up with new foods to add to our repertoire so am buying different cuts of meat than I normally would. Rather than try recipes randomly I thought I'd ask all of you.

PS. Christy Lee's roasted chicken recipe rocked if you're looking for reviews :-)

What can I do next?

I serve it with rice and stir fried vegetables and the leftovers are great for fried rice.

Well the round steak you'll have to either pound out thin (then roll it up and stuff it with something, or slice very thin and stir fry, fajitas) or cook low and slow for hours, like a pot roast or a bbq beef. You could cut it up and use it in stew, too, if you cooked it long enough.

I grill a pork tenderloin to get it nice and brown on the outside, you could seer it in a pan too for the same effect and finish it in the oven. Rub something on it first, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. You could cut it up into rounds and make tenderloin medallions, brown them on high heat in a cast iron pan, with mushrooms and onions, a little stock for a sauce. You could butterfly it and stuff it with an apple/cornbread stuffing.

Pork Tenderloin

Cut slits in the pork tenderloin (about 1 inch) apart. Place apple sliced into each slit. Place into the crockpot. Pour apple juice over it to fill the pot about 1/3 to 1/2 full. Put brown sugar over the top of the pork tenderloin. Cook on low for about 6 hours. You can serve it with some vegetables are you can shred it up for pork sandwiches, burritos, tacos, etc.

My family loves it.

I rub my pork tenderloin with a mixture of minced garlic, seasoned salt, and olive oil and then bake in in a 13x9 at 350. The time depends on the thickness.

Pork tenderloin. Slice it to make a larger flat substance. Like unrolling it. You might pound it out a little too, with a rolling pin or a meat tenderizer hammer.

Then put stuffing on it, roll it back up, tie it shut and bake it until the insides are cooked. Slice it like cinnamon rolls. Serve it with savory foods that compliment stuffing/dressing and pork flavors.

I've used Pepperidge Farms that comes in a bag like chips and you just mix water with it then cook it. The one "I" like best is Stove Top cornbread stuffing mix.

An aluminium hammer feels nasty in your hand after a while. It gets rough and just....I hate the feel of aluminium tools. Anyway, they have many kinds that are good quality out there now.

I googled stuffed pork tenderloin and there are thousands of ways to do it.

Here's one that sounds good and has a good picture of the roll.

Here's a link to a Paula Dean recipe that sounds good and the picture really shows the detail of the rolled up idea.

I just made a pork tenderloin in the crockpot, but wrapped it in bacon first.
I added about 5-6 T of Tastefully Simple Burbon glaze & a little water in the bottom first.
Low for 6-8 hours. (Depending on the size)
It was delicious!

I don't make round steak much.
I used to pound it and bread it, brown on the stove & finish in the oven, in a roaster pan with water, with the round steak lifted on a bed of crumpled foil. (A lot of work!)
But I think I would like to try it the crockpot with peppers & onions for tenderness & flavor.

I agree with Julie! Pork tenderloin is so easy and quick to make. I put it in a pan, brush it lightly with olive oil, give it a good shake of garlic powder (granules really) and put on some salt and pepper and maybe some basil or oregano. put a bit of water around the roast and pop it in the oven. Seriously, that's it. You can grill it, too in the summer. I also buy some pre-marinated tenderloins. Those are great! And even easier!

Have you tried flank steak? Yum, yum! Brush with some BBQ and it's done (oven or grill) in like 10 minutes!

Also, pork chops with the bone in thickish cut - brush with olive oil, coat with bread crumbs and toss in the oven! Yum!

Have fun!

This is delicious! I baked it instead of grilling. It sounds like a lot of vinegar, but it was delicious ... Even after I forgot about it and left it marinating in the fridge for 3 days ....

love love love round steak. use it in several ways. made it this way last night

but it into several serving size pieces and roll in flour
brown in olive oil set aside

in crock pot layer the browned pieces of round steak. spinkle with garlic powder and onion powder, salt and pepper. pour 1 can of beef broth over the meat. put one package of lipton onion soup mix (I sprinkle it through a strainer as I want the beef powder but not the onions) but you can jsut sprinkle it all on. then dump a can of diced tomatoes over it all. set on low for about 8 hours. I come home the meat is ready and the gravy is delish. I made egg noodles and served the meat over them. It was really good.

I make bracciole also. use super thin cut round steak. sprinkle with garlic and onion powder. sprinkle some parmasean cheese and some bread crumbs. I use italian style. roll up so it looks like a Lincoln log. tie with butchers string. you then brown the logs on all sides. next step: I do it in the crock pot but my father in law has a hissy fit lol he does it on the stove. just dump a couple big cans of crushed tomatoes in and dump some italian seasonings on. oregano, basil, garlic, onion etc. stir every little while but cook all day. It makes really good red sauce and the bracciole will fall apart. my kids love them. my father in law is full italian. he makes a huge pot and makes the bracciole and italian sausage and meatballs all in the same pot at the same time. makes enough for about 4 meals. we put a bunch in the freezer to pull out later.

I use the mccormick seasoning packet in mesquite flavor (follow instructions back of packet) on pork tenderloin and grill to 152 degrees in the middle. Yum! Also the pork tenderloin in crock put with just a jar of jelly and a jar of salsa is good too.

Good luck!
