In a large skillet, saute the chopped onion, garlic, celery, potatoes, carrots, crushed red pepper, and mushrooms in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the steak and stir often to brown lightly. Add the wine and cook for 3 minutes. Add Italian herb seasoning, parsley, bay leaf, crushed tomatoes, and onion rings, and cook for 10 minutes. Taste and season with black or cayenne pepper for a more piccante taste. Remove the bay leaf. Sprinkle with chopped fresh Italian parsley before serving.
