Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours
Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds beef round steak, trimmed and tenderized

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Mix the flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the beef steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the steak and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and green bell pepper. Sauté until the onions are caramelized, about 5 minutes.

5. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

6. Add the diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and paprika to the skillet. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

7. Return the steak to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.

8. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven.

9. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.

10. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
