Simmering Steak and Veggies

SERVES: 5

COOK TIME: 1 Hr 20 Min

"Simmering" means cooking over low heat. In this recipe, simmering means lots of long-cooked flavor and tenderness.

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 pounds beef chuck steak
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
6 medium-sized white potatoes, peeled and sliced about ½ inch thick
3 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced about ½ inch thick
3 medium-sized onions, sliced about ½ inch thick

What to Do

In a large deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Brown the steak for 2 minutes per side. Add the tomato sauce, water, allspice, salt, and pepper. Cover and reduce the heat to low; simmer for 30 to 35 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 45 more minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and the meat is fork-tender.
Serve the meat with the veggies and pan juices.

Notes

Some butchers call this cut a chuck steak, while others refer to it as a chuck roast, so don't be confused. No matter what it's called, it'll still have that lip-smacking goodness.
