Ready in just 20 minutes of prep time and baked to perfection in two hours, itβs the ultimate comfort food for busy weeknights or relaxed weekends.
Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.
Cut the beef round steak into 4 equal portions and coat each piece with the seasoning blend, reserving a small amount of the mixture for later.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly sear the beef on both sides until browned. This helps to seal in the flavor.
In a large bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and the remaining seasoning mixture. Stir until well combined.
Place the cooking bag inside a large baking dish and ensure the opening faces outward for easy filling.
Layer the sliced carrots, onion, and green bell pepper in the bottom of the bag.
Add the seared beef over the vegetables and pour the tomato-beef broth mixture over the top.
Seal the cooking bag with the provided tie or according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure to leave a small opening for steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Carefully remove the cooking bag from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before opening. Watch out for the steam when opening the bag.
Serve the Swiss steak and vegetables over a bed of mashed potatoes or with a side of rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!
