Swiss Steak - Master Cookbook Recipe # 82

This is a true Collard Valley Cooks classic. By taking a simple round steak and "beating the hound out of it" to tenderize it, then slow-simmering it with peppers, onions, and tomatoes, you get a fork-tender beef dish that creates its own incredible gravy.

This is recipe #82 in Tammy’s Master Cookbook.

Cook mode Prevent screen from turning off

Ingredients

  • Meat: 3 round steaks (1/2-inch thick)
  • Produce: 1 large onion (chopped), 1 bell pepper (chopped), 3 garlic cloves (sliced)
  • Pantry: 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, 2 1/2 cups beef stock
  • Coating/Frying: Self-rising flour, Corn oil
  • Seasoning & Spices: Worcestershire sauce, Onion powder, Roasted garlic powder (Bidia brand), Paprika, Steak seasoning (Weber Steak 'n Chop), Unseasoned meat tenderizer, Salt, and Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep the Beef: Set your steaks out for 1 hour to reach room temperature. Trim off the fat around the edges so the meat can flatten evenly.
  2. Tenderize: Sprinkle unseasoned meat tenderizer and black pepper on both sides, then lightly dredge in flour. Use a meat mallet to beat the steaks very well on each side until the fibers break down and the meat is flat and tender. Cut each tenderized steak in half.
  3. Brown: Dip the portions in self-rising flour. Fry in a preheated skillet with oil until golden brown on both sides. Remove the meat from the pan.
  4. Sauté Veggies: Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet drippings. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  5. Simmer: Return the beef to the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic, onion powder, roasted garlic powder, paprika, steak seasoning, and a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce. Add the diced tomatoes and beef stock.
  6. Slow Cook: Cover with a tight lid and simmer on low for two hours until the beef is incredibly tender.

Notes

Tammy’s Tip: “What a wonderful beef dish. It is so delicious served with mashed potatoes and peas or your favorite vegetable side dish.”
