Round Steak Or Pork Chops In Tomato Gravy

  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 2-4 lbs beef round steak or pork chops (thinly sliced)
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • ½ C green onions (chopped)
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 8 OZ can tomato paste
  • 15 OZ can tomato sauce
  • 1/8 TSP dry oregano
  • 1 TBS parsley (dried)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 C chicken stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Brown steak or pork in olive oil then set aside. In same pan (add more oil if needed) sauté onion in meat juices. Add garlic after onions are soft and clear (garlic burns fast) and green onions, stir fry for 5 minutes. Add tomato, seasonings and 1 TSP salt and ¼ TSP pepper to start (adjust salt by tasting later). Mix well. Add stock till sauce is slightly thinner than desired final consistency. Add meat. Cover and cook 1-2 hours or until meat is fork tender. Serve with rice, pasta or mashed potatoes.

This works extremely well in a slow cooker.
