Italian Sauce Steak

This was the name my boys Chad and Curt gave this dish, sauce steak. At the time they were 5 years old and 3 years of age, now even as grown adults they still refer to this as Sauce Steak.  The name stuck! This was the one way these two picky eaters, would eat meat. To this day, Sauce Steak is still a favorite request by both of them. The dish is cooked in wine, crushed tomatoes, spices with a round steak or cube steaks, simmered slow, in a pan will make this so tender it falls apart. I would put huge chunks of peppers and mushrooms in and since they were so picky, would remove the peppers at the end. Now I can't put enough peppers in there and those whole buttom mushrooms in it. The meat is even awesome in a hard roll or buttered garlic bread if there are any leftovers. I have updated some of the photos as this posted in 2009 and I make it often. Check out the new photo's and the old.

With the least expensive tougher cuts of meat, this steak dinner is fork tender.

Thank Goodness for Slow Cookers!



If you don't have time, put in all in a slow cooker, when you get home it's a perfect meal.


The stove top is fine to cook it on but takes patience and simmering.


The slow cooker will do the same thing, I just brown the meat first and stick everything in the slow cooker and leave for the day.


Slow cooking tougher meats is always the way to cook them, even the least expensive cuts will be delicious.
