I have an abundance of zucchini and needed a recipe to use it in. So I came up with this Italian Steak and Vegetable Skillet recipe that is full of flavorful goodness. Here is what you will need..
Cut 2 lbs of round steak into 4 medium-sized steaks. Brown in lightly greased skillet on both sides. Remove to a clean plate and add 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped green pepper and 1/4 cup chopped mushroom and cook till vegetables are tender.
Add meat back into fry pan and cover with vegetables.
Pour 1 can Italian diced tomatoes over top of steaks and vegetables. Mix in 1/8 t. garlic powder, 1/2 t. basil, 1/4 t. oregano, 1/2 t. pepper and 1/8 t. red pepper flakes.
Cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours. Then remove steak to a clean plate and add 2 medium zucchini chopped into 1/4 inch slices. Stir into vegetables.
Place steak back on top of vegetables and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes more. Before serving sprinkle steaks and vegetables with Italian Cheese blend.
Let cheese melt and serve.
