  • Oil & Seasonings

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • Salt to taste
    • Pepper to taste
    • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
    • 1 bay leaf

  • Meat

    • 2 (1/2 pound) beef sirloin tip steaks

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 cup (1 small) chopped onion
    • 🍅 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    • 🍄 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (Optional)
    • 1 stalk celery, chopped (Optional)
    • ½ cup chopped green bell pepper (Optional)

STEPS

1

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place steaks into the pot one at a time, quickly browning on each side. Remove steaks, and set aside.

2

Add the onion to the pot, and cook over medium-low heat until wilted, about 3 minutes.

3

Return the steaks to the pot, and add the tomatoes, mushrooms, celery, and green pepper. Season with oregano and add the bay leaf.

4

Cover the pot, and cook over medium-low heat for about 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is fork tender.

5

If you wish to thicken the gravy, remove the meat to a plate. Stir together the cornstarch and water; stir into the pan juices. Let simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken. Return the beef to the pot.
