Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons paprika

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 pounds round or rump steak, about 1 inch thick

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Stir flour, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Pound steak with a meat mallet. Sprinkle meat with flour mixture on both sides and use the meat mallet to pound the mixture into the meat.

  2. Heat oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until slightly shimmering.  Add meat and cook, undisturbed, until browned and releases easily from the pan, about 3 minutes. Flip steak and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. 

  3. Add onion, bell pepper, carrots and mushrooms to the drippings in pan; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in stewed tomatoes. Return steak to pan, along with any accumulated juices and bring to a simmer.  

  4. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until steak is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Sprinkle with parsley and serve steak and tomato mixture over rice.
