Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the round steak, then cut it into serving-sized pieces.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides, and shake off any excess.
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil. Once hot, add the steak pieces in batches (don't overcrowd the pan) and brown them on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the browned steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Return the steak to the skillet, placing it on top of the sautéed onions.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes (with juice), beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to mix well, then pour the mixture over the steak and onions in the skillet.
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid and let it cook for 75-90 minutes, or until the steak is fork-tender. Stir occasionally and add a splash of beef broth if the sauce becomes too thick or begins to dry out.
Once the steak is tender, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the Swiss Round Steak hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
