This makes a nice meal out of a bland round steak. This can be made and simmered on the stove or in a crock pot but, adjust the cooking time. In my version of this recipe, I like to blend my tomatoes in the blender for just a bit to slightly puree it; making it a little saucier….just a personal preference. :) Serve with mashed potatoes, or over noodles, or rice.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef round steak, trimmed of fat
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped

- 1 (15 ounce) can petite tomatoes or stewed tomatoes slightly pureed, (2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
