Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Swiss Steak.
Step 1
To start, grab a small bowl and mix together the flour, half a teaspoon of salt, and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 2
Once combined, sprinkle this flavorful blend generously over your beef steak.
Step 3
Now, take a mallet or the edge of a sturdy plate and gently pound the flour mixture into the meat, ensuring it adheres well for that perfect crust.
Step 4
Next, heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
When the oil is shimmering, carefully add the floured steak to the pan.
Step 6
Sear it until it’s beautifully browned on both sides, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 7
Once your steak is golden and delicious, lower the heat and pour in enough water to cover the meat.
Step 8
Cover the skillet and let it simmer gently for about an hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
Step 9
Keep an eye on it, adding more water if necessary to prevent any sticking or burning.
Step 10
While the steak is simmering, let’s whip up a vibrant sauce.
Step 11
In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, minced green bell pepper, onion powder, the remaining half teaspoon of salt, and an eighth of a teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 12
Stir this mixture well and then pour it over the simmering steak in the skillet.
Step 13
Bring everything to a gentle simmer again and let it cook for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and envelop the steak in a rich, savory embrace.
Step 14
Your dish is now ready to be served, bursting with flavor and warmth—perfect for sharing with loved ones!.
