MOM'S SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut round steak into serving pieces (approx 10- remember each piece will become slightly "larger" after being flattened out by pounding). One at a time, lay each piece of meat between plastic wrap. Pound with flat side of meat mallet until flattened and thinned down and tenderized. Repeat process for each piece of meat. Salt and Pepper each piece of meat, then dredge/fully cover each piece (all sides) in flour (put flour on a dinner plate to do this).
• Heat oil on medium high heat. Once hot, brown meat (turning once) until browned on both sides. (You may need to cook the meat in batches, depending on quantity and size of skillet). When done, reserve 1/4 cup of the oil and drippings in skillet ; discard the rest of oil.
• Place browned meat pieces in a single layer in casserole dish. Top each piece of meat with a slice of onion. Add another layer of meat, then onion, until all pieces are in dish.
• Make a really thin gravy by adding 4 cups water to 1/4 cup of oil/pan drippings remaining in skillet. Mix 1 cup water with 3 HEAPING Tablespoons flour. Mix well, then add to skillet and whisk to combine. Season this thin gravy to taste with additional salt and pepper. Bring "gravy" to a boil. It will slightly thicken. Remove "gravy" from heat, and carefully pour it over meat.
• Cover dish with lid or tightly cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove from oven when done. Serve meat, topped with onions and gravy... and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place steaks into the pot one at a time, quickly browning on each side. Remove steaks, and set aside. Add the onion to the pot, and cook over medium-low heat until wilted, about 3 minutes. Return the steaks to the pot, and add the tomatoes, mushrooms, celery and green pepper. Season with oregano and add the bay leaf.
• Cover the pot, and cook over medium-low heat for about 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is fork tender. If you wish to thicken the gravy, remove the meat to a plate. Stir together the cornstarch and water; stir into the pan juices. Let simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken. Return the beef to the pot.

MOM'S SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the rack in the middle position of the oven.
• Cut the beef into serving-sized pieces. If some pieces are thicker than others, pound them with a meat tenderizer so they all are 1 inch thick.
• Season both sides of the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
• Add the tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, 2 teaspoons onion powder and garlic powder, and three tablespoons Worcestershire sauce to a large mixing bowl. Fold it all together and pour over the steak in the 9x13 baking dish.
• Cover the dish and cook on 350 degrees for 1½ - 2½ hours covered. (The total cook time depends on the thickness of your meat and the cut of meat you use. It could require more time in the oven if it's not as tender as desired.)
• When the meat is tender, remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 -10 minutes uncovered.
• If you'd prefer a thicker sauce, pour the liquid from the pan into a sauce pan over medium high heat. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoon water. Bring the sauce to a boil and stir in the cornstarch slurry for 1-3 minutes until it's thickened.

MUM'S SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Buy a very large piece of sirloin steak (1 1/2 - 2lbs). Sprinkle the steak with flour, salt and pepper and pound this into the steak to tenderize it. Mum used to use an old saucer :) I use the ridged side of my meat tenderizer. It gets messy with flour, so I think the saucer is a great idea lol
• 2. Cut steak into 2 - 3" pieces. Make sure you leave meat covered lightly in flour.
• 3. Braise/sear meat in frying pan or dutch oven (with lid) in fat (I use a little lard). If there is any grease left after braising, remove meat and discard the grease, but leave behind the browned pot stickings.
• 4. Add 1 (28 oz) can of tomatoes (stewed are nice) and 1 medium cooking onion, sliced, and rings pulled apart. Add a dash of worchestershire sauce if you want.
• 5. Low simmer covered until most of the liquid is absorbed (need enough liquid to keep it from getting too thick). Stir occasionally for at least 2 hours. Test the meat. You should be able to break it apart easily with a fork. Cook longer if necessary. Mum just added a little water if the sauce started getting too thick. She always served it with mashed potatoes and corn niblets.
