Categories     Dinner

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds bottom round roast (Cut into 1/2" thick slices)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
½ cup flour (all-purpose)
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion (sliced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
14.5 ounce diced tomatoes (1 can)
2 cups beef broth (low sodium)
2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon parsley (freshly chopped)

Steps:

  • Swiss the steak: Use a meat tenderizer mallet to poke holes into each slice of steak on both sides. You can also do with a fork or pairing knife.
  • Dredge through flour: Generously salt the beef slices with salt and pepper. Add the flour to a shallow bowl. Dredge each piece of beef well in the flour.
  • Sear the steak: Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dredged beef to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until seared and well browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté onion: Add the remaining tbsp of olive oil to the skillet along with the onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until they soften and get translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until aromatic.
  • Add the rest of ingredients: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then add the diced tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together well.
  • Braise: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the beef back to the skillet and make sure it's fully submerged. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until the sauce has reduced to your liking and the beef is tender. Stir occasionally.
  • Finish & serve: Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with parsley and serve.

EASY AND QUICK SWISS STEAK



Easy and Quick Swiss Steak image

This was my favorite growing up. I was amazed when I was older and asked my mom for the recipe how EASY it is! A small amount of prep. time, a day in the slow cooker, and you'll be amazed! It sounds too simple to be good... TRUST me! This gets RAVE reviews when we make it! The amount of vegetables is only an estimate. Use as many or as few as you choose. When it's done, you will have a yummy gravy, and will have to carefully dig for the steak pieces.

SWISS STEAK

For dinner tonight, try Alton Brown's Swiss Steak cutlets from Good Eats on Food Network, cooked in bacon drippings and smothered in an oniony beef gravy.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds beef bottom round, trimmed of excess fat
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil or bacon drippings
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour mixture. Tenderize the meat using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge the slices on both sides once more and set aside.
  • Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
  • Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.

SWISS STEAK QUICK AND EASY



Swiss Steak Quick and Easy image

My mother has been making this Swiss steak for years. It is wonderful, and can be made either on the stove top or -- when you don't have a lot of time but want a hearty meal ready when you come home -- in the crock pot. Serve over a bed of egg noodles or rice with a hunk of thick crusty bread.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds cube steaks, pounded thin and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 (1.2 ounce) package brown gravy mix
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Dredge steak strips in flour. Working in batches, place strips in hot oil. Fry until browned on both sides. Remove to a warm platter. When all meat is browned, return meat to Dutch oven, and stir in onions, mushrooms, salt, pepper, gravy mix, and stewed tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer about 30 to 45 minutes.
  • About 20 minutes before steak is finished, fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
  • Serve Swiss steak over noodles.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cut of beef for the best results. A chuck roast or round steak are both good choices.
  • To make sure the meat is tender, cook it slowly over low heat. This will allow the collagen in the meat to break down and create a tender, flavorful steak.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the steak. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Easy Swiss Steak Monterey is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the gravy is rich and creamy. Serve it with mashed potatoes or rice and a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
