Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 2 to 2 1/2 pound round or top round steak, about an inch thick
A couple tablespoons of flour
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 cups puréed tomatoes (canned or fresh)
2 teaspoons each of fresh thyme, sage, marjoram, or 1/2 teaspoon each of dried
Optional: Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, or green beans

Steps:

  • Sauté onions and garlic: Remove the steak from the pan and set aside. Add onions and garlic to the pan and another tablespoon of oil. Cook the onions and garlic for 3-5 minutes, using a metal spatula to scrape up any steak drippings, mixing them in with the onions. Add half of the herbs to the onions.
  • Cover and simmer: Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. If you have a domed lid that fits, use it. A domed lid will help circulate the steam and moisture from the cooking juices and keep the steak moist. Bring the steak in the tomato purée to a simmer and then lower the heat to the lowest heat possible to maintain a low simmer. (We use the warm setting on our electric range, if using a high BTU gas range you may want to prop the pot up on some balled up foil to give it more distance from the heat.) Cook for 1 1/2 hours.

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)

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.

  • 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.

SAUCY SWISS STEAK FOR TWO



Saucy Swiss Steak for Two image

The recipe comes from my 1973 "The Good Housekeeping Cookbook" which was my one-and-only cookbook for many years, before the advent of the internet. I decided to make Swiss Steak, having not made it in many years, so I dug out this old cookbook buried in the back of a kitchen cabinet (you know, the ones above the refrigerator) to get my old time recipe. I still had a place marker on the page!

Provided by HisPixie

Categories     Steak

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4-1 lb boneless beef round steak, cut about 1/2-inch thick
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil ("salad oil")
16 ounces tomatoes, canned
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1 onion, medium, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • On cutting board with sharp knife, trim any excess fat from meat and cut meat into 2 serving pieces. Coat meat on one side with half of the flour; with meat mallet (or edge of plate or dull edge of French knife), pound meat well. Turn meat over and repeat on other side.
  • In 8-inch skillet over medium heat, in hot oil, cook meat until browned on both sides. Add tomatoes and their liquid and remaining ingredients; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 1 hour or until meat is fork-tender.
  • Makes 2 generous servings. Serve with mashed potatoes (or rice or noodles).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for chuck steak, round steak, or sirloin steak.
  • Tenderize the beef before cooking to make it more tender. You can do this by pounding it with a meat mallet or marinating it in a mixture of vinegar, oil, and spices.
  • Brown the beef in a hot skillet before simmering it. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a good quality beef broth for the best flavor. You can also use water, but the broth will add more depth of flavor.
  • Add vegetables to the pot for a more flavorful and nutritious meal. Good options include onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes.
  • Simmer the beef until it is tender, about 1-2 hours. The longer you simmer it, the more tender it will become.
  • Serve the Swiss steak with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. You can also add a side of vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

Swiss steak is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and full of flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious Swiss steak that your family and friends will love. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give Swiss steak a try.
