Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Beef round steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef round steak with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Dredge the steak in flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the steak in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Work in batches if necessary. Remove steak and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Mix well to combine.

Step 8

Return the steak to the skillet, ensuring it is submerged in the sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for approximately 75-90 minutes, or until the steak is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 10

Preheat your broiler to high. Transfer the steak and sauce to a broiler-safe dish if not already in one.

Step 11

Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the steak.

Step 12

Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
