a 1 1/2 quart casserole. Fry peppers and onions over
moderate heat in the pan in which the meat was
browned, stirring frequently. Remove vegetables with a
slotted spoon and spread over meat. Pour out any
remaining fat. Add beef broth to frying pan and cook
and stir over moderate heat to absorb and brown
particles remaining in the pan. Add remaining
ingredients to broth. Mix well and pour over meat.
Stir the meat and vegetables lightly with a fork to
distribute the broth and vegetables. Cover tightly and
bake at 325 degrees for about 1-1 1/2 hours or until
the meat is tender. Serve 1 piece of steak with some
