How to make smothered steak:

Pound steak to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 1/4-inch wide strips. Combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge steak in flour mixture. Brown in hot oil in a large heavy skillet. Add remaining ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil and cover. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until steak is tender. Remove bay leaf before serving.

Note: I serve smothered steak with mashed potatoes or fluffy white rice and a garden salad. It will serve about 6 people.
