Old-fashioned comfort food at its finest. A savory sauce smothers tender pieces of beef. Accompanied by mashed potatoes with gravy, this is the kind of food that fixes. Can be made in the slow cooker, oven, or stove top.

Grocery List
  • 2 lbs. round steak (or cube steak)
  • 1 c. flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 2-6 T. butter
  • 1 onion
  • 30 oz. canned tomatoes
  • 4 tsp. lemon juice
  • 4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. mustard
  • 1-2 grated carrots
Here's how...
  1. Cut the round or cubed steak into serving sized pieces.
  2. In a shallow dish or pie plats mix the flour, salt and pepper.
  3. Thoroughly coat each piece of beef with the flour mixture on both sides, pressing the flour in a bit.
  4. Heat a heavy skillet to medium high and add in olive oil and butter and sear each piece of beef on each side just until each side is browned -- adding more butter as needed. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
  5. Slice one good-sized onion into thin slices and, adding more butter if needed, brown the onion in the pan juices for a minute or two or until tender.
  6. Add 30 oz. of tomatoes, using the liquid to deglaze the pan and scrape up the bits in the bottom.
  7. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the beef back in along with the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and carrots.
  8. Put the lid on and let this simmer for a couple hours until the meat is tender and the flavors have married. OR, put it in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for and hour and a half. OR, bake it on low in the crock pot for 8-10 hours.
