Provided by Holly Sander

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 to 3 pounds chuck steak, 1 inch thick
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper
14.5 ounces petite diced tomatoes (1 can)
1 large onion, cut into strips
3 medium green and red bell peppers, cut into strips
8 ounces mushrooms, cleaned and sliced thin
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon salt and pepper
3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce (Lea & Perrins Original for gluten-free)
Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water to thicken sauce if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the rack in the middle position of the oven.
  • Cut the beef into serving-sized pieces. If some pieces are thicker than others, pound them with a meat tenderizer so they all are 1 inch thick.
  • Season both sides of the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Add the tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, 2 teaspoons onion powder and garlic powder, and three tablespoons Worcestershire sauce to a large mixing bowl. Fold it all together and pour over the steak in the 9x13 baking dish.
  • Cover the dish and cook on 350 degrees for 1½ - 2½ hours covered. (The total cook time depends on the thickness of your meat and the cut of meat you use. It could require more time in the oven if it's not as tender as desired.)
  • When the meat is tender, remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 -10 minutes uncovered.
  • If you'd prefer a thicker sauce, pour the liquid from the pan into a sauce pan over medium high heat. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoon water. Bring the sauce to a boil and stir in the cornstarch slurry for 1-3 minutes until it's thickened.

MOM'S SWISS STEAK



Mom's Swiss Steak image

This is an old recipe from my mom. She called it stroganoff. It's a pretty healthy recipe considering it uses tomato juice and doesn't use sour cream (instead, it uses evaporated milk and lemon juice). Round steak is relatively low in fat also (compared to some cuts).

Time 1h20m

2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups tomato juice
4 ounces canned mushroom pieces, drained
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
cooked noodles

Steps:

  • Cut round steak into 3 x 1 inch strips.
