My husband and I loved this dish! I didn't have a flank steak so I used a flat iron steak and I pan-fried it first and then cut it in strips. I wanted it rare and I was afraid that the strips would over-cook. The instructions read: "simmer until the sauce thickens". There really wasn't any sauce to speak of from one can of tomatoes so I added some V8 juice to create some. I increased the amount of paprika too: 2 tsp sweet-and-smoky and 1 tsp of hot paprika. But that's just personal preference. This dish was scumptious. DH had two helpings at dinner and then ate the leftovers for breakfast this morning. A real keeper. Thanks Jayda!
I thoroughly enjoyed the gnocchi (never had it before); however I found the recipe as followed to be a bit bland. I added a bit of butter to the olive oil for the saute and added some Merlot to make more sauce. I will make it again but I will definitely "BAM" it with more spice.
No doubt this needs salt n pepper but sometimes it is possible to rush things and this is one of those times. The quick cooking process doesn t allow the flavors time to come together so the end result is very bland. I tossed everything back in the skillet (minus the gnocchi) added a little water and let it simmer with a covered lid for about an hour. The added cooking time really enhanced the flavor making it more like a pepper steak and the meat was nice and tender. If I were doing it over I would start by browning the meat add all of the ingredients except the gnocchi and simmer in a covered pot for at least an hour.
i loved it this was my first recipe that i have actual did by myself but it was great i changed it up a bit i added cayenne pepper instead of the paprika for a little hot zang and i couldnt find the gnocchi so i add a differnt pasta but other then that it was great i loved it thanks for the recipe
Not crazy about the gnocchi would try broad egg noodles next time.
Great tasting dish. I followed the recipe but substituted or omitted a few things using what I had on hand. It turned out great and can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow.
Very bland. Will not make again.
kind of bland. according to the recipe it makes 4 servings i found it to be more like 8 servings.
We really enjoyed this dish. Thank You
