Herbed Braised Beef with Tomatoes (Brazoles)

You don't need to buy expensive steak for this recipe. It is an excellent budget dish that isn't frugal on taste!




  • 1 1/2 pounds steak of choice, such as round steak
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano, or to taste, crumbled
  • 1 teasppon dried sage
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 medium italian plum tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)



Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Trim all visible fat from steak. Cut steak across the grain into 6 equal portions. Set aside

In a small bowl, mix coriander, oregano, sage, pepper, garlic powder, cinnamon, and salt; rub some of the seasoning mixture into the steaks.

Set aside remaining seasoning mixture.

Place steaks in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.

Slit tomatoes lengthwise, cutting only about halfway through.

Pinch to open them slightly so flavors can penetrate.

Nestle them between the steaks.

Add sugar to remaining seasoning mixture and sprinkle on the slit tomatoes.

Pour broth into the dish, being careful not to wash off the seasoning mixture.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Bast and bake for another 30 minutes more, or until meat is tender, basting occasionally.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
