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.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425. Line 9 x 13 baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, leaving 1 1/2 inch overhang all around.
- Cut steaks into equal portions and place in prepared pan. Top with sliced onions and bell peppers. (I always use more onion and bell peppers, personal preference).
- Whisk together soup, tomatoes with juice, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl until well blended. Pour over steaks, onions and bell peppers.
- Cover pan with large sheet of heavy duty foil; roll edges tightly with overhang to seal.
- Bake at 425 for 45 minutes.
- Add potatoes; reseal with foil. Bake additional 45 minutes.
- Uncover pan; add green beans. Reseal.
- Bake an additional 15 minutes or until beans are tender and steak is cooked through.
- Stir well before serving.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality cut of beef for the Swiss steak. Look for a chuck roast or a round steak that is at least 1 inch thick.
- Marinate the beef in a flavorful mixture of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, onion, and herbs. This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
- Brown the beef in a hot skillet before braising it. This will help to seal in the juices and give the meat a nice caramelized flavor.
- Use a good quality beef broth for the braising liquid. You can also add some red wine, beer, or tomato juice for extra flavor.
- Simmer the beef until it is fall-apart tender. This will usually take at least 1 hour, but it may take longer depending on the cut of beef.
- Serve the Swiss steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Conclusion:
Swiss steak is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. With its tender, flavorful meat and rich gravy, it is sure to become a favorite in your household. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give Swiss steak a try. You won't be disappointed!
