Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds beef round steak, 1 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 14.5 ounce can stewed tomatoes
  • 1 or 2 sliced green bell peppers
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Place flour on a large plate and set aside. Cut round steak into serving pieces. Salt & pepper as desired. Dredge steak in flour (really press in well), use a meat mallet to pound the meat. Repeat this pounding process on both sides until the meat is about 1/2 inch thick and noticeably more tender. Add a bit more flour if it becomes sticky.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat; cook the onions, green peppers and garlic for 5 minutes. Add the floured beef to the pan, pushing vegetables to one side. Brown until the meat is golden brown, turning once. This will likely have to be done in batches.
  • Place meat in the bottom of a 3 quart baking dish. Cover the meat with the onion mixture, then the tomatoes. Add a little water if needed.
  • Cover tightly and place in oven until done, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove meat, stir sauce and vegetables together and serve with meat.
