Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes
- 1 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into 4 evenly sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Brown the steak pieces on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Stir to combine.
Return the browned steak to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce and vegetables.
Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 1.5 hours, or until the steak is tender and easily cut with a fork.
Serve the Swiss steak hot, spooning the sauce and vegetables over each portion. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
