Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup diced celery
• 3 carrots, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup beef stock
• 2 small onions, diced
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 pounds London broil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon seasoned salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine flour, seasoned salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.

Step 2

Spread beef cubes out onto a cutting board. Sprinkle flour mixture over top and toss beef to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, then gently but firmly pound the steak with a mallet or the back of a soup ladle to tenderize.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes; cook and stir until browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add undrained diced tomatoes, beef stock, celery, onions, carrots, and bell pepper. Mix well and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Crack the lid of the pot about 1/2 inch to let the steam escape. Continue to simmer until beef is tender, about 1 hour more.
