Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large (sliced) yellow onion
- 1 medium (sliced) green bell pepper
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
- 1 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup (shredded) Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into serving-sized pieces.
Mix the flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece of steak in the mixture, coating both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the steak pieces on both sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the browned steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion and green bell pepper until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Return the browned steak pieces to the skillet, submerging them within the sauce. Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until the steak is fork-tender.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the steak, and return it to the oven, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
