1 c. ketchup
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. vinegar
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. mustard
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
4 lb. round steak, cut 1/2-inch thick

Combine all ingredients except steak in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for about 5 minutes over low heat. Pound round steak to break connective tissue.

Cut into serving-size portions. Place pieces in large casserole; pour hot sauce over meat. Cover tightly and bake in moderate oven (325 degrees) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is fork-tender. Yield 8-10 servings.
