I pulled this recipe for my DH to put together on his day off while I was at school. It said to cut into serving size pieces, but he cut it into bite size pieces. LOL! He used diced tomatoes with a little Italian seasoning, and then he coated the beef with flour and browned it before proceeding with the recipe. Everything else was followed exactly, and I can say we thoroughly enjoyed it! Served with mashed potatoes and green beans. OMG! We will make this again. Thanks for the recipe.

Thanks for posting this recipe. I had forgotten about it! This is an old recipe that I've made for many years and it's very good. Really makes the meat tender. And tasty. I've always used red wine instead of wine vinegar. Thanks, Trisha, for reminding me about this recipe; I'll be using it again soon. NcMysteryShopper, that's a great photo . . . Janet

I grew up having this meal often. It is wonderful over mashed potatoes - even my toddlers like it! I make mine in an electric skillet so you can set it at simmer and walk away. Great way to use the cheaper cuts of meats too. I highly recommend this!
