Round Steak with Italian Sauce Recipe (+)

Directions

Leave the steak in one piece, or if preferred, cut into serving size pieces. Trim off excess fat. Mix flour, salt, pepper; add paprika and/or turmeric, if using. Rub and pat flour mixture into both sides of the meat.
In a skillet large enough to hold meat without crowding, heat oil over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add meat and brown on both sides. Regulate temperature to prevent burning.
Add pasta sauce and wine. Cover and reduce heat to maintain a slow simmer. Cook until meat is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Check occasionally to make sure the liquid hasn't evaporated; add water if necessary. Serve with polenta (see recipe for Basic Polenta) or mashed potatoes, and a green salad.
