Al's Baked Swiss Steak

This is a variation on another recipe, which is great as is, but I couldn't make Swiss steak without green peppers or garlic. I also season the meat instead of the flour; it gets a more intense taste that way.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
• ¼ cup chopped celery
• ½ cup chopped carrots
• 1 medium onion, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.

Step 2

Cut steak into four portions and pound to 1/4-inch thickness; season with salt, pepper, and seasoned salt. Coat meat evenly with about 1 tablespoon flour.

Step 3

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook beef in hot oil until browned completely, 3 to 5 minutes per side; transfer to prepared baking dish reserving drippings in the skillet.

Step 4

To the drippings, add tomatoes, onion, green bell pepper, beef broth, carrots, celery, garlic, 1 tablespoon flour, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the tomato mixture to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Pour the mixture over the meat in the baking dish. Cover dish with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Bake until beef is completely tender, about 90 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over beef and return to oven uncovered until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
