Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Place the beef round steaks on a sturdy work surface and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper, then dredge each steak in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the steaks on both sides in batches, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, and in the same skillet, add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, dried oregano, and dried basil. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the browned steaks to the skillet, submerging them in the tomato mixture. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Let simmer for 75-90 minutes, or until the meat is tender.
Preheat the broiler on your oven to high.
Transfer the steaks to a broiler-safe baking dish and spoon some of the sauce over them. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Pair with mashed potatoes, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
