Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes with juice
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 medium carrots, sliced into coins
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut the meat into 4-6 serving-sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of the beef in the flour mixture, coating it thoroughly on all sides.
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, sear the floured beef pieces on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the browned steak pieces and set aside.
In the same skillet or Dutch oven, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the browned beef pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato and vegetable mixture. Add the sliced carrots on top.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Stir occasionally and check to ensure the liquid does not dry out, adding a bit more beef broth or water if needed.
Once the beef is tender, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve the Swiss steak hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
