  1. Thank you for sharing your recipes. In this particular one, I noticed that in Step 3, you mentioned to add the tomato sauce. Nowhere in the ingredient list does it list tomato sauce and/or how much. Guessing it was an oversight. Can you please tell me how much tomato sauce should be used? Thank you.

    1. Hi Suzanna: my apologies for the typo! I’ve updated step 3 – it should have said to mix in the tomatoes, not the tomato sauce. My mom usually dices or blends them before adding the tomatoes to the steak. Thank you for contacting me and for catching that error!
