Ingredients:
- 3/4 lb beef sirloin
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 green pepper
- 1 onion
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Recipe Instructions:
-
Marinate the Steak: Begin by soaking the steak in Italian dressing for several hours in the refrigerator. This step ensures the meat absorbs the flavors and becomes tender.
-
Prepare the Steak: After marinating, cut the steak into 2 pieces for easier handling.
-
Prepare the Coating: In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. This mixture will form a flavorful coating for the steak.
-
Coat the Steak: Using a meat pounder, pound the flour mixture into the steak, ensuring it’s evenly coated on both sides. This process helps to tenderize the meat and adds a crispy texture when cooked.
-
Brown the Steak: In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak pieces and brown them on both sides. Once browned, remove the steak from the skillet and drain any excess oil.
-
Add Vegetables and Sauce: Return the steak to the skillet and top it with sliced green pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Pour the combined tomato sauce, water, and spices over the steak and vegetables.
-
Simmer: Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Allow the steak and vegetables to simmer for approximately 45 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
-
Add Cheese: Once the steak and vegetables are cooked through, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Cover the skillet again and continue cooking until the cheese has melted and formed a deliciously gooey topping.
-
Serve: Serve the Italian Style Steak over hot cooked noodles, allowing the flavorful sauce to mingle with the pasta. Garnish with extra cheese and mushrooms if desired, and enjoy this hearty and satisfying meal with your family and friends!
