This is an ok, work day recipe. Meant for when you want something quickly. For what it is, it's good. The herbs for the tomato sauce are sparse. I would substitute Italian seasoning instead, even up to a tablespoon. Someone down rated the recipe for toughness when she used a round steak. Round steak must be braised to get it tenderized (and pounding it helps, too). Braise the round steak in the sauce for about 2 hours, maybe an hour and a half. I usually just braise round steak in my electric skillet, not in the oven, but the oven is fine. Also, some say they don't like cubed steak. Make with hamburger instead, but use the best hamburger, not some ground fatty something.
I would omit the sugar. Mom always said to add a spoonful of sugar to whatever you cook. Mom was wrong. We are over sugared and over salted today.
