Tender Swiss Steak
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds beef round steak, cut 1-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water, or as needed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup minced green bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Combine the dry ingredients - flour, salt, and black pepper - in a small bowl and mix until they are evenly blended. Sprinkle this mixture over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated.
2
Using a mallet or the flat edge of a sturdy plate, gently pound the dry ingredients into the meat, creating an even texture.
3
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the floured steak and cook until it is nicely browned on both sides, taking approximately 15 minutes.
4
Reduce the heat to a low setting and carefully pour in water. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for about an hour, or until the meat is tender. If necessary, add more water to prevent burning.
5
In a separate bowl, combine the tomatoes, green bell pepper, onion powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Mix these ingredients together until they are well combined.
6
Pour the tomato mixture over the steak in the skillet, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
