Baked Beef with Tomatoes

2 medium Sweet Vidalia onions, chopped
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
2 cups canned, diced tomatoes
1 large round steak (about 2 lbs)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch ground cloves
1/2 tsp. dried chili flakes
salt and pepper
olive oil

Brown the onions lightly in a little olive oil, then put them in a casserole dish with a cover. In the same pan brown the meat and put in with the onions. Add the chopped peppers, tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, cloves and chili. Cover and cook gently (300-350) for about 1-1/2 hours. Before serving, cut steak into serving pieces. Serve hot with a side salad and creamy whipped potatoes.

Alternatives: Instead of the steak you can use 2 pounds of lean stewing beef or you can cut the steak into thin slices before browning.
