A hearty dish featuring tender round steak smothered in a rich, tangy tomato sauce and complemented by bell peppers and onions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds round steak, cut into serving-sized pieces
  • 1 cup flour, for coating the steak
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil, for browning the steak
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the pieces of round steak with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge each piece in flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  2. Heat the cooking oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured steak pieces in batches, browning them for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove the steak and set aside.
  3. Add a bit more oil if needed to the skillet, then add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until soft and aromatic.
  4. Return the browned steak to the skillet, layering it over the vegetables. Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir gently.
  5. Simmer the mixture gently. Cover and cook for 50-60 minutes on low heat until the steak is fork-tender.
  6. Serve the Swiss Steak hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Leftover Swiss Steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently with beef broth.
