Round Steak Pepper Steak

I often only cook half a round steak at a time. The rest I slice in strips and freeze for a meal like this later.

1 pound round steak, cut in strips
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs soy sauce
1/2 cup chopped celery
pepper to taste
1 cup sliced mushrooms or 1 small can
1 Tbs flour
1 cup chopped onion
1 Tbs oil
1 green pepper, seeded and cut in thin strips
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes

Mix up the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, soy sauce and a bit of pepper. Mix in the meat, flour, celery, mushrooms, and onion. Heat the oil in a pot with a lid. Dump the meat and vegetable mix in and cook over medium high heat for 5-10 minutes, letting the meat brown a bit and stirring periodically.

Add the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Add the green pepper strips and cook another 5-10 minutes, covered. Stir in the cherry tomatoes (or slices of larger tomatoes if that's what you have, or even a can of diced tomatoes!) and cook another 5 minutes.

Serve over rice or noodles. Served 3 of us with leftovers for 1 or 2.
