Skillet Steak Dinner

Steak tenders smothered with tomatoes, peppers, onions and mushrooms...and served on a bed of noodles. That's my idea of a perfect winter comfort meal. I made noodles for the first time recently....just like my mother-in-law used to. I decided to make a skillet steak to go with the noodles...just like my mother-in-law used to as well. Good meals make for good memories!

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. sirloin steak
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• 1 can mushroom soup (14 oz. / 398 ml)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons molasses * (optional)

• 1 sweet pepper (green, red or yellow) julienned
• 1 can sliced mushrooms (14 oz. / 398 ml)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Method:

1. Cut steak into serving size pieces.
2. Combine flour, salt and pepper.
3. Dredge steak in flour...and pound each piece.
4. Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat.
5. Brown meat well on all sides.
6. Add diced tomatoes.
7. Cover tightly and simmer for 1 hour.
8. Add remaining ingredients, stirring to mix well.
9. Cover tightly and simmer 30 minutes longer.
10. Serve on a bed of noodles or rice.

* I'm sure the molasses could be left out, but it adds a nice flavour.
