Swiss Steak

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or oven-proof pan with a lid
  • Meat mallet if you can't find cubed steak

Ingredients

  • lbs. beef cubed steak, or round steak ½" thick
  • ½ cup flour
  • t. salt
  • t. pepper
  • 3 T. olive oil
  • 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 t. Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
  • ½-1 cup beef broth, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°. If starting with round steak instead of cubed steak, pound it thoroughly with a meat mallet. Cut the steaks into serving-sized pieces.
  • Combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of beef. Heat the oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or oven proof skillet with a lid. Working in batches, brown the steaks until well colored on both sides.
  • When all steaks are browned, return to the pot. Add the onion, canned tomatoes, and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and put the pot in the oven. Cook for 2 hours or until fork-tender.
  • If you'd like more gravy or a thinner gravy, remove the steaks to a serving plate while the pot is still hot. Whisk in the optional broth a quarter cup at a time until you reach the consistency you want.
