If you prefer a sweeter sauce, increase the sugar slightly or add a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Bell peppers can be substituted with any color of your choice, and feel free to add mushrooms or zucchini for extra veggies. This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or rice, similar to other hearty beef recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Suzie Steak hot from the oven with a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful gravy. A simple green salad or steamed vegetables make excellent accompaniments. This dish could also be paired with creamy mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal, making it a satisfying option similar to a Beefed-Up Biscuit Dish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the round steak with other cuts like flank steak or sirloin. Just be aware that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness and tenderness of the meat. Always ensure the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.
What can I do if I don't have catsup?
If you don't have catsup, you can make a quick substitute by mixing tomato paste with a bit of vinegar, sugar, and water to achieve a similar flavor profile. Alternatively, barbecue sauce can also work well in place of catsup for a different taste.
Is it possible to prepare this dish in advance?
Absolutely! You can brown the steak and prepare the vegetables a day in advance. Assemble everything in the casserole dish, cover it, and refrigerate. When ready to cook, simply bake it as directed, adding a few extra minutes if it's coming straight from the fridge.
