Instructions

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add steaks one at a time, quickly browning on each side. Remove steaks and set aside. Add the onion to the pot and cook over medium-low heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Return steaks to the pot, then add tomatoes, mushrooms, celery, and green pepper. Season with oregano and add the bay leaf.
Cover the pot and cook over medium-low heat for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is very tender. If you want a thicker gravy, remove the meat to a plate. Mix the cornstarch and water, then stir into the pan juices. Simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken. Return the beef to the pot.
