Preparation

Step 1

Cut 1 1/2 pounds eye of round steak until 8 slices, and season both sides with salt and pepper. In a deep skillet, heat 1 T. olive oil over high heat, about 1 minute. Sear beef until brown, about 3 minutes per side; this can be done in two batches if necessary. Transfer beef to a platter.

Reduce heat to medium, and add 1 onion and 1 bell pepper, both finely chopped, to the skillet; cook until onion is soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups water, one 14 oz. can tomato sauce, 4 dried bay leaves, 2 tsp. each dried basil and oregano, and 1/4 tsp salt.

Return beef and any accumulated juices to the pan, and spoon sauce over beef. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley on top, and serve.
