Simmered Steak with Vegetables

By Addie

“You can avoid the higher cost of round steak by selecting a less expensive cut, such as chuck. Chuck steak can be pounded to achieve the tenderness of round steak.”

Ingredients

• 2 pounds round steak
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup green bell pepper strips
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (10-ounce) can tomato soup
• 1 cup water
• 8 drops hot pepper sauce
• 6 cups hot cooked egg noodles

Preparation

Step 1

Cut steak into 6 serving pieces. Combine flour and garlic salt on a plate. Coat steak with flour mixture.


Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add steak. Cook, turning once, until browned, about 5 minutes per side.


Add bell pepper, onion, soup and water to skillet; stir to coat steak. Sprinkle with hot pepper sauce.


Cover skillet. Reduce heat to low. Simmer until steak is tender, about 40 minutes. Serve over hot egg noodles.



NOTE:

Butter tends to burn quickly even when cooked over moderate heat. To prevent butter from over browning, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the butter in step 2.
