Ingredients

• 2 pounds round steak
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat off the round steak and cut it into 4 to 6 equal portions.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture to coat evenly.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak pieces and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic. Using the same skillet, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes and their juices to the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits. Stir in the beef broth, paprika, and dried thyme.

Step 6

Return the steak pieces to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the tomato mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 45 minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile, peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. After the 45-minute simmer, add the potatoes to the skillet, gently stirring to combine. Cover and continue simmering for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the steak is fully cooked.

Step 8

Just before serving, stir in the butter to add richness to the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
