Passed down from my mother, it’s a dish that never fails to satisfy and delight everyone who tries it. Perfect for cozy dinners, this classic combines tender beef with a rich, cheesy tomato sauce, making it an all-time favorite. Whether served with a side of mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad, it’s sure to become a staple in your home as well.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef round steak
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup condensed tomato soup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 12 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preparation of the Meat:

    • Begin by cutting the beef round steak into individual serving-sized pieces. Dredge each piece in flour, coating it thoroughly on all sides. This step helps to seal in the juices and create a delicious crust.
  2. Browning the Steak:

    • Heat the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted and hot, add the flour-coated steak pieces. Brown the steak slowly on both sides, ensuring a nice golden crust forms. This process adds depth of flavor to the final dish.
  3. Assembling the Dish:

    • Transfer the browned steak pieces into a 9×13 inch baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. This will ensure that each piece is evenly covered with the flavorful sauce.
  4. Preparing the Sauce:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, condensed tomato soup, and salt. Stir well until fully mixed. Pour this tomato mixture evenly over the steak pieces in the baking dish, making sure each piece is well-coated.
  5. Baking:

    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 1 hour, or until the steak is tender and has absorbed the flavors of the sauce. The slow baking process ensures that the steak becomes incredibly tender and flavorful.
  6. Adding the Cheese:

    • After 1 hour, remove the foil from the baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the sliced mozzarella cheese over the steak. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serving:

    • Once the cheese is perfectly melted and slightly golden, remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting, cheesy delight with your favorite sides.
