Marietta's Swiss Steak

As a kid, my mother used to make Swiss Steak quite a bit.  I still like to make it once in a while, and this recipe brings that familiar smell and taste right back to me.  I hope you will give it a try, and maybe it will become a favorite for you as well!

Marietta’s Swiss Steak

Serves 4

1 medium green pepper, chopped

1 small onion, diced  

1 T all-purpose flour   

1 Tbsp olive oil   

16 oz uncooked lean beef round steak

16 oz can diced tomatoes   

2  oz water , or as needed

1 tsp sea salt   

1/2 tsp black pepper   

1-2 Tbsp canned tomato paste   

Trim the beef pieces to remove excess fat.  Mix the flour with salt and pepper, then use to coat the beef. In a saute pan, heat the oil and brown the beef on both sides. Remove beef and set aside for a moment. Add onion and green pepper to the pan and saute. Add tomato paste, then tomatoes and water(as needed) to create sauce. Add beef pieces back to the pan and bring the sauce to boil. Reduce to simmer and cook at least until beef is tender, about 90 minutes.
