Italian Braised Beef With Garlic and Mushrooms image

I found this recipe a couple of weeks back in Metro News, a free newspaper published daily in Toronto. It was ideal for using up a cup of crushed tomatoes that I had in the freezer, left over from another recipe. The sauce is delicious. Because of the small amount of meat called for in the recipe, I would suggest doing as I did and using eye of the round steaks, which I sliced thinly after the dish finished cooking.
