Beef Strips With Zucchini and Tomatoes

"I wanted a recipe for round steak strips, but did not want a stroganoff or stir fry type recipe. i just kind of threw this together with what i had. i was planning on doing a pan fried steak, corn on cob and baked potato, but got home late from work, and just wanted something i could do in my electric skillet. this is what i came up with. let me know what you think, be honest, and any suggestions for improvement. all measures are approximate, like i said i just threw together at last minute, this served me and my husband, with one lunch serving leftover. we had texas toast with this. some optional ingredients are included, we found this quite tasty and very filling. it was also very easy and quick, which i need at times, as i have an hour and a half commute each way to work everyday, and hubby just does not and can not cook."

  1. This is a great, simple, quick-to-the-table meal! I used fresh zucchini instead of canned, so I did use the optional wine (about 1/4 cup) to make up the needed liquid. The meat was very tender and the sauce was delicious. Served as-is (no noodles) and really enjoyed this - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2011
