Saucy Steak Skillet

• 1 lb beef (boneless round steak), cut into serving sized pieces
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped (abt a cup)
• 1 can (16 oz) whole potatoes, drained (reserve liquid)
• 1/4 cup catsup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp bell pepper flakes
• 1 tsp instant beef bouillon
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp dried marjoram leaves
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 package (10 oz) frozen Italian green beans
• 1 jar (2 oz) sliced pimiento, drained

Coat steak and then tenderize by beating with a meat mallet.  Brown beef in oil in at least a 10 inch skillet.  When meat starts to brown, scoot it over and dump in the onions.  Cook until onions are clear and tender, and then drain oil.  Add some water to the potato liquid until it equals 1 cup of fluid and then mix the liquid and catsup into the pan with the onions and the meat.  Add Worcestershire, pepper flakes, bouillon, salt, marjoram, and pepper.  Heat to boiling, and then lower.  Cover and simmer until the beef is tender. abt 1.5 hours.

Meanwhile, rinse frozen beans.  After the meat is tender, add the beans pimentos and potatoes.  Heat to boil again, and then reduce heat to simmer and cover with lid.  Let simmer until beans are tender crisp.  10-15 minutes.

Serve hot.

**I am not a big meat fan, and I especially hate steak, and steak type food.  I love this however.  It is very yum, and the meat comes out so tender you barely have to chew.
