The onion soup mix, spices, and some beer make up the flavorful sauce for this round steak dinner.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Add some sliced carrots or rutabaga along with the potatoes if you'd like.

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 envelope beefy onion soup mix
  • 12 ounces beer
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
