Ingredients

2 chuck steaks, center cut, remove all fat or 2 boneless 4 ounces burgundy wine

1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce or 2 lg. fresh tomatoes

4 tablespoons olive or corn oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Salt to taste

Preparation

Use a 10 x 16 oven pan. Line the pan with aluminum foil, using enough to make a 1 inch border around the meat. Put the meat in and pour the wine over all. Then pour the tomato sauce (or fresh tomatoes) over. Then add the oil, garlic, oregano, pepper, and salt. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake for 50-55 minutes, uncovered. Remove from oven and serve. Makes 4-6 servings.

NOTE: If skinned tomato is desired, heat a pot to boil. Drop tomato in for 30 seconds. Remove from water and peel after a few moments.
