MY MOM'S SWISS STEAK
This is so easy and all done in one pot! It is delicious and everyone including kids will love it! This recipe is tried and true, impossible to fail! It can also be doubled or tripled without problems, but lower the heat on the second and third batch when browning, as not to burn.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place steaks into the pot one at a time, quickly browning on each side. Remove steaks, and set aside. Add the onion to the pot, and cook over medium-low heat until wilted, about 3 minutes. Return the steaks to the pot, and add the tomatoes, mushrooms, celery and green pepper. Season with oregano and add the bay leaf.
- Cover the pot, and cook over medium-low heat for about 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is fork tender. If you wish to thicken the gravy, remove the meat to a plate. Stir together the cornstarch and water; stir into the pan juices. Let simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken. Return the beef to the pot.

Steps:
- Chop onion and green pepper and saute in greased pan. Then spoon out in a bowl and set aside. Cut round steak into 4 pieces. Pound flour into both sides and pound really well, it makes it tender too, you'll be able to cut it with a fork! Brown meat on both sides. Put chopped onion and green pepper mixture on top on each piece of meat and cover well, if you have to chop a little more do it, it will add to flavor. Then take tomato sauce and add the water, stir and pour over meat. Simmer on low heat for a couple hours or until meat is tender enough to cut with fork. If done in an electric frying pan, cook on about 250-300 degrees. Check frequently, mixture will start to thicken, try to keep it from sticking too much; add more water when necessary. Make this a gravy consistency, not too watery. Make mashed potatoes, add a vegetable and there's your dinner!

Tips:
- For a more flavorful Swiss steak, use a good quality cut of beef, such as top sirloin or chuck roast.
- Be sure to brown the beef in a hot skillet before simmering it in the sauce. This will help to develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
- Use a flavorful broth for the sauce, such as beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth. You can also add some red wine or beer to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Simmer the Swiss steak in the sauce for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender. The longer you simmer it, the more flavorful it will be.
- Serve the Swiss steak with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. You can also add some vegetables to the sauce, such as carrots, celery, or onions.
