Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large (sliced) yellow onion
• 1 medium (sliced) green bell pepper
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
• 1 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup (shredded) Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into serving-sized pieces.

Step 3

Mix the flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece of steak in the mixture, coating both sides.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the steak pieces on both sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the browned steak and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion and green bell pepper until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.

Step 6

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Return the browned steak pieces to the skillet, submerging them within the sauce. Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until the steak is fork-tender.

Step 9

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the steak, and return it to the oven, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
