3 lb. lean beef (I use round steak)
3 tbsp. cooking oil
1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 med. onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 (6 oz.) cans tomato paste

Sift salt, pepper and flour together and coat steak. Beat meat with meat pounder or edge of a heavy plate. Meat will be more tender and flour will absorb juice. Cut meat into individual portions.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven and brown meat on both sides. Set aside to drain. Saute onion and pepper until tender. Add tomato paste and 2 cans of water, stirring until smooth. Add meat and simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender. Turn meat occasionally during cooking. Serves 6-8.
