Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 lbs round steak or cubed steak, 3/4" thick
  • 3 Tbs flour
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbs cooking oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 small can tomato sauce (8 oz)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the steak into smaller pieces for individual servings. Coat with flour and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet, brown steak in 1 Tbs of oil. Add more oil if pan dries up and meat starts to stick.
  • After browning steak but not cooking all the way through, remove meat from pan and place into a deep casserole dish. Atir 1/4 cup water into hot pan. It should sizzle and dissolve browned bits on the pan. Pour water and meat juices over steaks.
  • Pour half of tomato sauce over steaks, then cover with chopped onion, green pepper, mushroom and 1 Tbs of leftover flour. Pour remaining tomato sauce over steaks.
  • Bake in covered casserole dish in a 350 degree oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until steak is tender enough to be cut with a fork and sauce is thick. Makes many servings, and it tastes great reheated the next day. Enjoy!
