Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 medium carrot, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Place the beef round steak on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to tenderize it. Cut the steak into 4 serving-size portions.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each steak piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated, and shake off any excess flour.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the carrots and potatoes to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables and sauce. Place the steak pieces back in the skillet, submerging them slightly in the sauce.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is tender and the potatoes and carrots are cooked through.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the Swiss steak with the vegetables and sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
