Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 14.5 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the round steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Dredge the steak in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced green and red bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Stir in the paprika, dried oregano, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the seared steak to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 75-90 minutes, or until the steak is tender and the flavors are well-developed.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve hot over your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
