Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into serving-sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of beef in the mixture, coating both sides lightly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the seared meat to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.
Return the seared beef pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Make sure the sauce covers the beef pieces completely.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the Swiss steak hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and enjoy!
