Ingredients

Ingredients:

2 pounds top round roast
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
1 medium onion sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
6 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup beef broth
2 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons parsley optional, garnish

Instructions

Cut roast into 3/4 inch thick slices. Use a meat mallet to pound the steak to 1/2 inch thick.
Combine flour, salt and pepper on a plate. Dredge meat into flour. You can also do this in a resealable plastic bag.
Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Shake excess flour off of meat and cook just until browned. You might need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Add more oil as needed. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same pan that you cooked the beef in, cook onion, garlic, tomato paste and Italian seasoning. Return beef to the pan. Pour in broth, diced tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for at least 1 1/2 hours.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
