MOM'S SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Cut round steak into 3 x 1 inch strips.
• Heat oil. Brown strips in it. Add onion, salt and pepper. (Note you can probably omit the salt if your tomato juice has salt in it.) Cook long enough to soften onion.
• Blend in flour, then tomato juice and mushrooms.
• Cover and cook over low heat one hour or until meat is tender.
• Mix together evaporated milk and lemon juice and then stir it into the meat. Warm, but do not boil.
• Serve over cooked noodles.
• Do not freeze leftovers.

Steps:

• Stir flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl. Sprinkle pieces of steak with flour mixture and pound the flour mixture into the meat with a meat mallet or the edge of a sturdy plate.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the floured beef in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low, pour in water, cover skillet, and simmer beef until tender, about 1 hour. Add more water to the skillet if needed to prevent burning.
• Mix diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Pour tomato mixture over beef, bring to a simmer, and cook until sauce has thickened, about 30 more minutes.

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.

HOMEMADE SWISS STEAK RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• If you save your bacon drippings, they make a great oil for browning meats and potatoes. Trim the steak and cut into serving sizes. Gently coat in a light layer of flour, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat the bacon drippings in a skillet. Put a few pieces of meat in the pan at a time so they don't crowd and can brown. Brown on both sides. Put the browned meat in a large pan that can be put in the oven. When all of the meat is browned, add the onion to the pan and stir until soft. Add the can of stewed tomatoes, can of consume and red wine. Stir until mixed and pour over the browned meat. This will make the gravy. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the casserole in the oven and cook uncovered for at least an hour. This will tenderize the meat and make the gravy delicious! I always serve with homemade mashed potatoes.
