Parsley Potato Topped Oven Swiss Steak Food

OVEN ROASTED SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Place oven rack on middle position.
• In a shallow bowl or dinner-size plate, mix flour, salt, pepper and garlic.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large ovensafe dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot (one that has a lid).
• Dredge each cube steak on both sides in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Place steak in heated pan as you go. Brown the steaks on both sides, about 3 minutes per side (you don't want to cook them all the way through). Remove from pan and set aside on a large plate while preparing the sauce.
• In the same pan you cooked the steaks, reduce heat to medium. Add just a little additional oil if necessary. Add sliced onion and cook until softened and golden but not burnt, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook additional 30 seconds.
• Add ¼ cup of red wine and cook until wine evaporates, about 3 minutes.
• Add tomato paste, smoked paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Add diced and crushed tomatoes, worcestershire and beef broth. Stir and cook until mixture starts to simmer.
• Add the cube steaks back into the pot and make sure to cover them with the tomato mixture.
• Cover with lid, place in 325F degree oven and cook without checking for 1 hour 45 minutes.
• After this time is up, check and cook, covered again, an additional 15-30 minutes or until most of moisture is evaporated and steaks are covered in reduced tomato mixture.
