Swiss Steak Recipe
Would you like to try a special Swiss Steak recipe? Swiss Steak gets its taste from Beef. The famous Swiss Steak is served at the European table as a yummy Side Dish. Whether you are an amateur cook or a professional chef, I recommend the Swiss Steak for the sheer joy of cooking it.
Ingredients
1/4 cup flour, approximately
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds beef steak (rump, round or chuck), cut 1 1/2 inches thick
3 tablespoons fat
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/4 cups stewed tomatoes
1/3 cup sliced carrots (optional)
1/3 cup sliced celery (optional)
Directions
1. Mix the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge the steak with the seasoned flour. Pound into both sides of the steak as much more of the flour mixture as it will hold, using the edge of a heavy plate.
2. In a Dutch oven heat the fat, add the steak and brown very well on both sides.
3. Add the vegetables, cover and simmer gently until tender, one and one-half to two hours. Or bake in a covered casserole in a preheated slow oven (300° F.) two to two and one-half hours. Remove the meat to a warm platter and keep hot.
4. Strain the drippings from the pan and skim the fat from the surface.
