Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef round steak
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 1 large Bell pepper (preferably red or green)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 15 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
Instructions
Cut the beef round steak into 4 to 6 smaller portions and trim any excess fat.
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating all sides, and shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the coated steak pieces for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Deseed and thinly slice the bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, add the onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the slow cooker, arranging them on the bottom. Place the seared steak pieces on top of the vegetables.
In a medium bowl, combine the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Stir well to mix the ingredients.
Pour the tomato mixture evenly over the steak and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or until the steak is tender and can be easily cut with a fork.
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 for a delicious meal.
