MY MOTHER'S SWISS STEAK

COPYCAT MCCORMICK SWISS STEAK BAG AND SEASONING

Steps:

• Combine the flour, minced onions, dried green bell peppers, garlic powder, salt, ground black pepper and paprika in the resealable jar. (I modified Athena's directions slightly and put mine in a small electric chopper to "powder" as I prefer to sprinkle mine on the steak from an old plastic spice bottle with a sprinkle top).
• Close the jar and shake to combine the ingredients.
• Store the dry Swiss steak seasoning in a dry, dark place for up to one month.
• To prepare Swiss steak using your seasoning mixture. Combine the dry mix with 8 oz of tomato sauce and 1 cup of water. Pour this over 1 1/2 lb. of round steak in a baking dish and cover. Bake the steak for 45 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. (Please see recipe description for instructions closer to McCormicks original).
