• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Grease interior of covered roasting pan or Dutch oven.
• Cut round steak into serving size pieces (approximately 4 inch squares).
• Sprinkle both sides of steak pieces with Aldolph's tenderizer.
• Place flour into plastic zip lock bag and place on a chopping block (or if you don't mind the flour mess clean-up, just place half the flour on a sheet of waxed paper that's on top of a chopping block).
• Place 4 or 5 pieces of steak into the bag of flour, turning over several times to coat, then using the edge of a dinner plate, pound the flour into the meat.
• Do this to both sides several times.
• Remove the "pounded and floured" meat, and continue with remaining pieces.
• Heat heavy skillet until droplet of water rolls when dropped into hot skillet.
• Now add the Crisco; when Crisco is melted, add the butter.
• Quickly fry steak pieces, in batches, until browned good on both sides.
• Remove to plate until all steak has been browned.
• Lower heat, add onions and green peppers, about 1/4 tsp black pepper with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and scant 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
• Remember NOT to salt the steak if you've used Aldolph's tenderizer, but you do need to salt the onions and green pepper.
• Cook the peppers and onions until lightly browned on edges.
• Do not let burn!
• Pour in the canned whole tomatoes and tomato sauce.
• Break up tomatoes a bit with a spoon, leaving some in rather large pieces.
• When this comes to a boil, remove from heat.
• Pour tomato, green pepper, onion mixture into bottom of the greased roasting pan.
• Place fried steak over the top.
• Cover and bake 1 3/4 hours.
• Check liquid about half way through baking time, add 1/4-1/2 cup water if necessary to keep sauce from drying out.
• You want to maintain a gravy.
• Serve in large "Country Style Bowl" with side dish of buttered and creamed mashed potatoes.
• My family enjoys mayo cole slaw as the side dish with the Swiss Steak.

SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour mixture. Tenderize the meat using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge the slices on both sides once more and set aside.
• Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
• Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.
