Country-Fried Steak

Method

• Cut the beef into 6 serving pieces
• Place the pieces between sheets of waxed paper and pound with a mallet
• Season the beef with salt and pepper if desired
• Heat the oil in a large skillet and saute the onion, green pepper, and garlic for 5 minutes
• Push to the side of the skillet and brown the beef quickly on both sides
• Stir in the flour and enough kitchen bouquet to make the gravy the desired colour
• Add water and stir as the gravy thickens
• Add stewed tomatoes, cover, and cook until the beef is tender, about 30 minutes.
