Round steak turns out moist and tender when cooked in a tasty tomato sauce all day long! Tortellini is the finishing touch.

Expert Tips

You can use yellow summer squash instead of the zucchini.

Cut the beef into pieces of same size so that it cooks to the same doneness and tenderness.

Fresh-baked soft breadsticks and Caesar salad in a bag carry out the Italian theme of this meal.

Tasted great, but we got a really tender meat from the store that was already cut into 10 slices. So it turned out to be more shredded beef then steak; but still good and easy!
