This didn't get rave reviews at our house and we all love garlic. I used 1/2 crushed tomato and 1/2 salsa to give it a bit of "umph". It was very tender!

This was delicious. We ate it with noodles & fresh bread. I added extra tomato, onion, and garlic. Next time I will omit the oil though, it didn't add anything.

Very quick and easy to make. My family said it was good but not the best thing I had ever made.

My husband loved this! I used Italian sauage instead of steak and served over egg noodles. If you use the Italian saugae you may want to leave out the oil that is poured on top. I haven't tried this yet but will next time as the sauage is greaser than steak.

My husband and I are looking for new recipes for steak all the time. This one will be a hit now! All I had was some cube steaks but it only made them really tender and incredibly seasoned. So I know when I make it next time with a different steak it will be different but great! We can't wait to try it!This is really a garlic lovers recipe.Thanks!

Wonderful recipe! So simple and delicious. It's just like the Filipino recipe called MECHADO, but cooked in the oven. This cut of meat that usually turns out tough when I cook it was really tender. And to keep the meat from being bland (as other reviewers warned), I seasoned it with salt, pepper, basil and red pepper flakes. Thanks for sharing =)

My 16 yr old son reckons there really is a god when I dish this up. I do add a little rock salt and peppersteak seasoning though.

OK recipe. The beef was wonderfully tender, like a well cooked pot roast. Just needed a little more "spice" according to my hubby. Served with wide egg noodles, was just a little bland.

I was highly disappointed in this recipe. My husband and I are huge garlic fans and this recipe had no garlic flavor at all. I used 2 and 1/2 large heads of garlic. The meat was moist, but flavor was very lacking. We ate it and used the sauce with mashed potatoes.

Very good. Everyone in the family loved this dish. Make sure you do not mistake the heads of garlic and use only cloves. You need to use the entire head.

YUM! I wish I would've had 4 lbs of the beef (I only had 2) because it went so fast! I had to substitute green olives for the black and diced Mexican tomatoes for the crushed but I think that just added to the flavor. Some were saying it was kind of bland but mine wasn't with these substitutions - there was a bit of a bite. The garlic wasn't at all overpowering and maybe I'll add even more next time. Great recipe - thanks!

My family loved this recipe, the beef literally melts in your mouth. I thought the olives were a bit strange, but they were a nice touch. I heeded the warnings about blandness as well and added 3 heads of garlic. I also stewed my own tomatoes for this.

This is a great beef recipe. I used boneless sirloin steak that I cut into strips instead of cubes and did not use two heads of garlic, just one and I sliced up the cloves. I added a can of tomato sauce instead of crushed tomatoes and didn't add any olives. It was very tender and flavorful plus I am thinking not too horrible fat-wise because I used a very lean cut of meat. We served it over rice with veggies and bread.

I was very disapointed with this recipe. The meat turned out very tender but the sauce was bland and tasteless. I used a whole large head of garlic chopped up and added some Italian Herbs and Beef Stock (in place of the olive oil) but it still just tasted like beef cooked in a tin of chopped tomatoes. Sorry but I won't be making this again.
