Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 0.5 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into 4-6 serving-sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating it thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each piece of steak on both sides until browned but not cooked through (about 2 minutes per side).
Place the seared steak pieces at the bottom of your crock pot.
Layer the sliced onion and green bell pepper over the steak.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Mix well.
Pour the tomato mixture over the steak and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the steak is tender and easily cut with a fork.
Once done, serve the Swiss Steak over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and spoon the sauce over the top for a hearty and flavorful meal.
