How to Make Baked Steak And Lima Beans

  1. Rinse 1 (1-pound) bag dried lima beans thoroughly under cold water.
  2. In a large pot, combine lima beans and 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.
  5. After 1 hour, return to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes, keeping covered.
  6. While beans simmer, cook 6 slices of bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp.
  7. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon; reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings, and set bacon aside to crumble later.
  8. Pat the 1.5 lbs beef steak dry with paper towels. Coat the steak generously with 1/4 cup of flour.
  9. Add the reserved bacon drippings to the Dutch oven. Brown the steak on all sides over medium-high heat. Pour off any excess grease.
  10. Add 1 medium chopped onion to the Dutch oven and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  11. Stir in the cooked lima beans (do not drain).
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 (46 ounce) can tomato juice, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
  13. Pour the tomato mixture over the beans and beef in the Dutch oven.
  14. Cover the Dutch oven and transfer to a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven.
  15. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  16. Before serving, crumble the reserved bacon over the top of the steak and beans.
  17. Serve hot, topped with crumbled bacon and grated cheddar cheese to taste.
