Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds round steak
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 medium carrot, sliced
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Trim the round steak of excess fat and cut it into 4-6 serving-sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces on both sides until browned, working in batches if necessary. Transfer the browned steak pieces to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the onion, green bell pepper, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften. Transfer the vegetables to the crock pot, layering them on top of the steak.
In a mixing bowl, combine the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine and pour the mixture over the steak and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the steak is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving. Serve the Swiss steak with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles, and spoon the rich vegetable sauce over the top.
