Marmie's Swiss Like Minute Steak

Submitted by Marmies

"We love minute steak... our butcher does a really nice job and I always want to try a new way to prepare it, I have done this before but I really liked it today...maybe it was the wine? The wine I put into the sauce... lol Minute steak is really tender off the bat but I am sure that if you simmered round or serlion steak about an hour it would be really tender too. This is especially yummy with mashed potatoes, but nice with rice or pasta too."
