Description

Ingredients:

1 lb beef chuck steak, sliced thin

3 T. flour

3 T. olive oil

3 garlic cloves

14 oz. plum tomatoes

2 T. basil, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Run the plum tomatoes through a food processor. Trim any excess fat from the steaks and notch the edges slightly with a knife to prevent them from curling during cooking. In a large frying pan or skillet, heat 2 T. of the olive oil with the garlic cloves. As soon as the garlic turns golden, push the cloves to the side of the pan and raise the heat.

Dip the steak slices in the flour and place them in the pan. Brown them quickly on both sides. Remove the steak and set aside. Mix the plum tomatoes and their juices with the remaining olive oil and add to the pan. Return the steak to the pan, remove the garlic, and add salt and pepper. Cook the steak over moderate heat for about 15 minutes.
