1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
2. Pound flour into both sides of steak with a meat mallet. Cut meat into 5 or 6 ounce portions. Brown slowly in the olive oil. Reduce heat.
3. Add tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes.
4. Add celery, onion, green pepper, sliced tomatoes, and garlic, salt and pepper. Gently mix to blend, making sure that sauce covers bottom and top of steak pieces. Cover and cook on medium low for 1½ hours.
5. Remove lid and simmer for 15 minutes to reduce sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley, either chopped or whole sprigs. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
NOTE: We purchase seasoned flour fresh from the Old Mill in Pigeon Forge, TN. You can make your own mixing together wheat flour, a little yellow corn flour, and onion powder and black pepper to taste.
