How to Make Bacon Stuffed Round Steak

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut a pocket in the round steak, about 1 inch deep, being careful not to cut all the way through. Sprinkle both sides of the steak generously with meat tenderizer.
  3. Cut 1 bell pepper into thin strips. Cook bell pepper strips in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and reserve.
  4. Cook 6 slices bacon in a heavy skillet over medium heat until limp but not crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings.
  5. Stuff the steak pocket with the cooked bacon and bell pepper strips. Secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  6. In the same skillet, brown the stuffed steak on all sides using the reserved bacon drippings. Remove steak and set aside.
  7. In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and stir until bubbling and melted.
  8. Add 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 bay leaves, and 1/2 cup of tomato sauce. Stir to combine.
  9. Place the steak in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the sauce over the meat.
  10. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
  11. Remove from oven, let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve and enjoy!
