Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak (1/2 inch thick)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Cut the beef round steak into serving-sized portions. If it's not already tenderized, use a meat mallet to pound the meat until it's about 1/3 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper together. Dredge each piece of beef in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the steak pieces on both sides in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the browned steaks and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (including their juice), beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the browned steaks to the skillet, submerging them in the sauce as much as possible. Top with the sliced carrots and celery.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the flavors are well combined.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the Savory Swiss Steak hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
