Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef round steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the beef round steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge the steak in flour, shaking off the excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the steak in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Work in batches if necessary. Remove steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Mix well to combine.
Return the steak to the skillet, ensuring it is submerged in the sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for approximately 75-90 minutes, or until the steak is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Preheat your broiler to high. Transfer the steak and sauce to a broiler-safe dish if not already in one.
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the steak.
Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
