Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Trim large, tough pieces of fat from the steak, leaving a little fat for flavor.
- Pound the steak between two pieces of plastic wrap to tenderize and flatten slightly.
- Mix the flour with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
- If meal prepping, stack the dredged pieces on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Cooking
- Heat a heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the oil.
- Sear the floured steak until deep brown on both sides. Set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth or water, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, then nestle the steak back into the sauce.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 60 to 90 minutes until the steak is fork-tender.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.
Serving
- Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, rice, or a simple side salad.
- Optionally garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
