Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, seasoned salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the London broil on a cutting board. Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly over the steak, ensuring all sides are lightly coated. Cover with plastic wrap, and using a meat mallet or the back of a sturdy ladle, pound the steak firmly but gently to tenderize the meat fibers. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

03

Step

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Pour in the undrained diced tomatoes and beef stock. Add the diced celery, onions, carrots, and green bell pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Cover the Dutch oven, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. After 1 hour, crack the lid of the pot about 1/2 inch to allow steam to escape. Continue to simmer for another hour, or until the beef is exceptionally tender and easily falls apart when prodded with a fork. (Cook time: 2 hours)

For a richer flavor, sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Consider adding a splash of red wine during the browning stage for added depth.
Adjust the simmering time based on the thickness of your steak and your desired level of tenderness.
Serve this comforting dish over buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta. Don't forget a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce!
