Ingredients
Instructions
- Wipe the meat with a wet cloth.
- Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper and brown in fat.
- Mix tomatoes with A.1. sauce and dry mustard.
- Pour the tomato mixture over the meat and cover.

Tips & Substitutions
For a more tender steak, consider marinating it in the sour cream mixture for a few hours before cooking. If you don’t have A.1. sauce, a mix of Worcestershire sauce and a dash of hot sauce can be a great substitute. Adjust the seasoning to your taste; you can also add garlic powder for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak hot, drizzled with the creamy sauce, alongside mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the flavors. A fresh side salad or steamed vegetables pairs nicely to balance the richness. This dish complements American recipes like Peach Open Face Pie for a delightful meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the steak in a skillet over low heat to prevent it from becoming tough. You can also microwave it in short bursts, covered, to retain moisture.
