Instructions
  1. Mix flour, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge steaks in flour mixture.
  2. Heat oil in large frying pan medium-high heat.
  3. Fry steaks in olive oil, browning on both sides. When blood starts to come to the top, flip to brown the other side.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, vegetable stock, Worcestershire sauce and bouillon base. Stir well.
  5. Add all steaks back to frying pan and pour ketchup mixture over steaks to cover (if sauce does not cover, you can add a bit more vegetable stock or water). Sprinkle with oregano. Cover and set heat to low simmer for 30 minutes. Flip steaks and stir sauce a bit. Continue to simmer for an additional 30 min.
  6. Serve over mashed potatoes. And garnish with fresh parsley.
Recipe Notes

You will likely need to brown the steaks in batches as there are too many to fit in one pan. To avoid burning the remnants in the bottom of the pan between batches (as that doesn’t taste good in the sauce and it makes it difficult to get a nice browned coat on the steaks), wipe out the excess and add fresh oil for the new batch.

I make the ultimate mashed potatoes, true story! You can find that recipe here.
