Thank you so much for this recipe! I have looked for it ever since I made it 20 years ago and never could find it again. It is wonderful with fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden. My husband has asked me about it every time he has surplus tomatoes and I've searched all my 'old' recipes in vain. This is the one! (I did flour, salt and pepper the cubed steak before frying, but did everything else the same). -
Excellent! An elegant, tasty dish that is easy to prepare. Because I was making pan gravy for the rest of the family, I prepped this about a half hour ahead of time. Because of that, the slices didn't keep their shape until the time I served it, but that was fine with me. I served it with mashed potatoes and Recipe #268494. The tomato sauce was good over those as well. This would be a fantastic meal to serve company. It is a terrific use of fresh garden tomatoes. Thanks for posting!

I love to cook, but don't have a lot of time to do it, since I work full time. I like to try a new recipe every Saturday, if time allows.
