• 1 1/2 pounds beef round steak
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf

Instructions​

1. Prepare the Steak
   • Season the beef round steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
   • Dredge the steak in flour, shaking off any excess.
2. Brown the Steak
   • In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the steak and brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables
   • In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Add Liquids and Seasonings
   • Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, and bay leaf.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Simmer the Steak
   • Return the browned steak to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce.
   • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the steak is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Serve
   • Remove the bay leaf before serving.
   • Serve the Swiss steak over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, with plenty of the rich sauce.

Enjoy your hearty and comforting Swiss steak!

Definitely going to try your recipe this week. My grandma used to add sliced mushrooms to hers - do you think that would work here too? Thanks for sharing!
