Equipment

Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 2 1-inch thick top round steak about 2 - 2 ½ pounds worth
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tsp dried sage
  • 2 tsp marjoram
  • 2 cups pureed tomatoes

Instructions
 

Directions:

  • Place approximately 2 tablespoons worth of olive oil in a large shallow pan. Preheat over medium.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper and mix to combine.
  • Sprinkle the flour mixture over both sides of the steaks and rub into the meat.
  • Sear the meat in the preheated oil for about 5 minutes per side or until you see the browning.
  • Meanwhile, in another shallow pan with a lid (or wait for the meat to sear if you’re just using one pan), heat another one tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and cook for about 3 minutes or until the onions are soft.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the pureed tomatoes, thyme, sage and marjoram. Whisk to combine.
  • Once the meat has been seared on both sides, place the steaks over the sauted onions.
  • Pour the tomato mixture over the steaks.
  • Place the lid on the pan and simmer over low heat for an hour and a half.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, etc.

Notes

Storage: Steaks can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Reheat before serving.
