This is so easy and all done in one pot! It is delicious and everyone including kids will love it! This recipe is tried and true, impossible to fail! It can also be doubled or tripled without problems, but lower the heat on the second and third batch when browning, as not to burn.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (1/2 pound) beef sirloin tip steaks
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup (1 small) chopped onion
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 stalk celery, chopped
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 bay leaf
1 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

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. Add the onion to the pot, and cook over medium-low heat until wilted, about 3 minutes. Return the steaks to the pot, and add the tomatoes, mushrooms, celery and green pepper. Season with oregano and add the bay leaf.
Cover the pot, and cook over medium-low heat for about 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is fork tender. 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.

Another great recipe my brothers & I grew up on... The outside gets a little but crispy and seals in the succulent juices inside - yum! It's as delicious the next few days as it is hot off the grill - make a bunch, store in a ziplock in the fridge & snack for days!

Tips:

Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is about 1 1/2 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will help to ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but some popular options include olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice.
Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat, which will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep the inside tender and juicy. You can cook the steak in a grill pan, a cast iron skillet, or on an outdoor grill.
Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful piece of meat.

Conclusion:

Flank steak is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook a flank steak that is tender, flavorful, and juicy. Whether you are grilling, pan-frying, or roasting, flank steak is a great choice for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
