Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef round steak or top blade steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot based on preference)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 cups chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 cups hot cooked rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef steak, then cut it into 4 equal pieces.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides well. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the floured steak pieces on both sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), salsa, beef broth, and ground cumin to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Return the browned steak to the skillet, nestling it into the tomato-salsa mixture.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steak simmer gently for 75-90 minutes, or until the steak is tender and easily cut with a fork.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving for a fresh, bright flavor.
Serve the Swiss Steak Salsa over a bed of hot cooked rice if desired, and enjoy!
