We had some round steak in the freezer from when my parents visited a few months back, so I looked up an easy recipe to use it up. This is a really low maintenance recipe, and the results are pretty tasty! The meat was super tender after baking for so long, which was really nice. The only change I made was to use a can of V8 since I had them on hand, and not straight up tomato juice. I served this with brown rice and a quick green bean dish that I came up with to use up the rest of the can of diced tomatoes.
