Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into 4-6 serving-sized portions. Use a meat mallet to tenderize the steak and flatten it slightly.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak 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, working in batches if necessary. 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 the vegetables soften slightly.
Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes with their juices, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the browned steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and vegetables. Spoon some of the sauce over the steaks.
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the Swiss steak and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles for a hearty meal.
