Steak with a twist

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Shoulder roast (beef; never mind if it's tough)
¼ pounds Dried tomatoes
3 tablespoons Good grade cooking oil
1 medium Sweet onion
Spices
Pat of butter or margarine

Directions

submitted by: paradise@... (Yehuda Paradise, Ramat Gan, Israel) Trim fat and gristle from meat, cut (against the grain) into ¾ inch thick slices and sprinkle both sides sparingly with mild curry powder.

Grill from one side for 1 min, coat lightly with butter or margarine and grill for some 3 mins more, or until meat starts to brown and gets a nice golden crust.

Turn steaks over and repeat procedure - but this time grill for 2 mins only (or, again, until meat starts to brown).

Pour oil and dried tomatoes in skillet, cover with a layer of steaks and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cover with thinly sliced onion, and repeat alternating layers of steak and onion. Add ½ cup water, or half water and dry white wine.

Pour drippings from the grill on the steaks, cover tightly and cook over a very low flame until meat is tender, but not yet falling apart. (Depending on the quality of the meat, this may take anything between one and two hrs). Baste occasionally with the accumulating sauce.

When meat is done, it will take on a very dark brown hue - almost black! Don't be alarmed, this is due to the tomatoes and doesn't mean you burnt the steaks.

Remove meat, fish out the tomatoes and save them for a garnish. Reduce the sauce by about half, add 1 level tsp corn flour (in a little water), bring to a boil and stir until sauce thickens.

P S - I tried the same recipe with pork instead of beef, but it doesn't work. Wonder why...
