Oven Baked Swiss Steak

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven Baked Swiss Steak.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a shallow baking dish to ensure nothing sticks.

2. Step 2

   Next, take your beef and cut it into four equal portions.

3. Step 3

   Gently pound each piece until it’s about 1/4 inch thick, creating a tender base for your dish.

4. Step 4

   Season both sides generously with seasoned salt, regular salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper, then give each piece a light dusting of flour—this will help create a lovely crust when cooked.

5. Step 5

   In a skillet, warm up some vegetable oil over medium heat.

6. Step 6

   Once it’s shimmering, add the seasoned beef and let it sizzle away until it’s beautifully browned on both sides, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes per side.

7. Step 7

   Once browned, carefully transfer the beef to your prepared baking dish, making sure to keep all those delicious drippings in the skillet for extra flavor.

8. Step 8

   Now, let’s build that flavorful sauce! In the same skillet, toss in the stewed tomatoes, chopped onion, green bell pepper, carrots, celery, beef broth, minced garlic, a tablespoon of flour, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

9. Step 9

   Stir everything together and bring it to a gentle boil, cooking for about 2 minutes while stirring frequently to combine all those wonderful flavors.

10. Step 10

    Pour this vibrant vegetable mixture over the beef in your baking dish, covering it snugly with aluminum foil.

11. Step 11

    Pop it into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and infused with all those savory juices.

12. Step 12

    Once the time is up, carefully remove the foil and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the beef.

13. Step 13

    Return the dish to the oven, this time uncovered, for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a deliciously gooey topping.

14. Step 14

    And there you have it—a comforting, cheesy beef dish that’s sure to warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds! Enjoy every bite!.
