Method
1
Slice the boneless round steak into thin strips, approximately ¼ inch thick. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2
Combine the all-purpose flour and salt in a shallow bowl. Coat the steak strips evenly with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid crowding, cook the floured steak strips for 2–3 minutes per side until browned, then transfer to a plate.
10 minutes
4
Add the chopped white onion to the same skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.
5
Stir in the diced bell pepper and dried mushrooms, cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant.
6
Pour in the catsup and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
7
Return the cooked steak strips to the skillet. Add the frozen green beans, sliced pimentos with their drained liquid, and the boiled potatoes cut into chunks.
8
Pour in ½ cup of the reserved potato cooking liquid to create a savory sauce. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
9
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and flavors meld together.
