Easy Swiss Steak Recipe
Cook Time:
2 hours,
15 minutes
- 2 pounds round steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 (14 ounces) can tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Preheat the oven to 300 F.
- Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Add the flour to a bowl and coat each piece well, shaking off the excess.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef to the pan and sear both sides well around 2 to 3 minutes each side, then set aside.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. You want to scrape all the bits off of the bottom of the pan, then add the onions and celery. Cook for 4 minutes until they soften. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Stir in the tomato paste, and then add the chopped tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Make sure these ingredients are combined well.
- Once you bring the sauce to a boil, reduce it to a simmer. Add the beef back into the skillet and make sure it's fully submerged under the sauce. Cover and place in the oven for 2 hours, or until the sauce has reduced and the beef is tender. Make sure to stir occasionally.
- To serve, sprinkle with fresh parsley.
