mebsy01, I have never braised sirloin steak but IMO that cut of meat would not need 3 hours braising time - have a look at:-

Really good!

SAVOURY BAKED STEAK
2 bacon rashers
750g topside steak
½ tsp dry mustard
3 tsp sugar
3 tbsp flour
2 tbsp vinegar
1½ tbsp tomato sauce
1½ cups water

Trim the rind off the bacon and fry the bacon for a few minutes to draw off the fat. Drain and cut the bacon into 3cm length pieces. Cut the steak into even-sized pieces and put the steak and bacon into an ovenproof dish.
Mix the remaining ingredients together until smooth, then pour the mixture over the meats. Cover the dish.
Bake at 160°C for 2-2½ hours or until the steak is tender. :-))

Very pleased that you enjoy the Savoury Baked Steak bjkiwi - did you get the recipe from this TM MB or some other source!It's the same as a recipe of the same name that I posted on here ages ago and one that we also really enjoy.:-))

oh, I do apologise if I havnt given credit where it is due - I do believe it may have been yours. Anyway - we love it here! I often brown everything in the pan then chuck it all in the crockpot for the day, but do prefer it in the oven

No apology needed bjkiwi.I was really surprised (and pleased) to see the recipe again whilst at the same time being so pleased that that recipe we also enjoy was being enjoyed so much by another MBer that you posted it, and I was curious to know too, if you had sourced the recipe from here or from, maybe, the same source as I did which I think was a NZ Woman's Weekly, probably about 30 years ago.:-))

I fry cross cut blade steak to seal in a very hot pan. Then fry lots of sliced onions. Place steak with onions on the top in a baking dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, couple of handfuls of flour, and I usually crumble a couple of beef stock cubes, maybe packet gravy, anything really to flavour. Cover just with water and bake slowly covered for about 3 hours., Its a real favourite in our family over the winter. So tender and tasty.

But would you do that with sirloin steak, because even though o/p asked for a braised steak recipe it seems she was wanting to use sirloin!
