A comforting and easy recipe for slow-braised cubed steak in a rich tomato, onion, and pepper gravy. Perfect served over mashed potatoes or noodles for a hearty family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs cubed steak
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the cubed steak in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the steak on both sides. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Return the browned steak to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is tender.
  6. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Notes

  • Serve hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
  • This dish is excellent for meal planning and can be made ahead of time.
