Mums Swiss Steak Recipes

MOM'S SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the rack in the middle position of the oven.
• Cut the beef into serving-sized pieces. If some pieces are thicker than others, pound them with a meat tenderizer so they all are 1 inch thick.
• Season both sides of the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
• Add the tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, 2 teaspoons onion powder and garlic powder, and three tablespoons Worcestershire sauce to a large mixing bowl. Fold it all together and pour over the steak in the 9x13 baking dish.
• Cover the dish and cook on 350 degrees for 1½ - 2½ hours covered. (The total cook time depends on the thickness of your meat and the cut of meat you use. It could require more time in the oven if it's not as tender as desired.)
• When the meat is tender, remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 -10 minutes uncovered.
• If you'd prefer a thicker sauce, pour the liquid from the pan into a sauce pan over medium high heat. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoon water. Bring the sauce to a boil and stir in the cornstarch slurry for 1-3 minutes until it's thickened.

MY MOM'S WONDERFUL SWISS STEAK RECIPE - (4.5/5)

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!

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:

• Stir flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl. Sprinkle pieces of steak with flour mixture and pound the flour mixture into the meat with a meat mallet or the edge of a sturdy plate.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the floured beef in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low, pour in water, cover skillet, and simmer beef until tender, about 1 hour. Add more water to the skillet if needed to prevent burning.
• Mix diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Pour tomato mixture over beef, bring to a simmer, and cook until sauce has thickened, about 30 more minutes.
