Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup green chiles, roasted and chopped
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into 4 equal portions.
In a shallow dish or plate, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steak pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Work in batches if necessary and set the browned steaks aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the roasted green chiles, diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and release browned bits.
Return the browned steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender. Check occasionally and stir to prevent sticking.
Once finished, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot. Green Chile Swiss Steak pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
