Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Cut the round steak into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long.

  2. Step 2.

    Peel and slice the 6 onions into thin rings or half-rings.

  3. Step 3.

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt 2 pats of butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and steak strips, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the steak is browned on all sides, about 8–10 minutes.

  4. Step 4.

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon paprika over the meat and onions. Stir well to coat, and let cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste.

  5. Step 5.

    Pour in 2 cups sour cream and 2 cups red wine, and stir until everything is well combined and the sauce is smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.

  6. Step 6.

    Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thickened. Serve hot.
