Provided by bamagirl817

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lg. round steak
2 onions
2 green peppers
1 - 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 c. water
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper

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!

MOM'S SWISS STEAK

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).

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.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (1/2 pound) beef sirloin tip steaks

1 cup (1 small) chopped onion
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Swiss steak is typically made from a tough cut of meat, such as round steak or flank steak. These cuts are less tender than other cuts, but they have a lot of flavor.
  • Tenderize the meat: Before cooking, pound the meat with a meat mallet to tenderize it. This will help to break down the tough fibers and make the meat more tender.
  • Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat in a flavorful marinade will help to add flavor and moisture. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex marinade that includes wine, vinegar, and spices.
  • Cook the meat slowly: Swiss steak is typically cooked slowly in a covered pot or Dutch oven. This allows the meat to become tender and fall apart.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is an important part of Swiss steak. You can use a variety of sauces, such as a simple brown sauce made from beef broth and flour, or a more complex sauce that includes tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles: Swiss steak is typically served with mashed potatoes or noodles. These side dishes help to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Swiss steak is a classic dish that is easy to make and delicious to eat. By following these tips, you can make a Swiss steak that is tender, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table.
