Prep: 35 min.    Cook: 1½ hours
Yield: 6 servings.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon ground mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 1½ pounds boneless beef top round steak (about 1 inch thick), cut into serving-size pieces
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 can (14½ ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1/4 cup cold water

Directions

1) Combine the flour, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; set aside 2 tablespoons for gravy. Rub remaining flour mixture over steak. Pound with a meat mallet to tenderize.

2) In a large skillet, brown steak in oil over medium-high heat. Transfer to a greased 2½ qt. baking dish. Top with carrots, onion, green pepper, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Pour tomatoes over all.

3) Cover and bake at 350° for 1½ to 2 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender. Transfer meat and vegetables to a serving dish; keep warm. Strain pan juices into a measuring cup, add water to measure 1 cup.

4) In a saucepan, combine reserved flour mixture with cold water until smooth. Whisk in pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add remaining salt and pepper. Serve over steak.
