Skillet Swiss Steak

This easy skillet Swiss steak is made with round steak and tomatoes. I used chili style tomatoes, but feel free to use plain or stewed tomatoes in this recipe. Add rice or noodles, crusty bread or rolls, and a tossed salad for a perfect meal.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 55 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 pounds round steak, about 1-inch thickness
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes, zesty chili-style or plain
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper

Instructions:

Cut the round steak into serving-size pieces. Combine flour, salt, and pepper; pound the mixture into round steak with meat mallet.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meat, turning to brown both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total. Add the hcopped onion and tomatoes; cover and cook the Swiss steaks over low heat for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add bell pepper and continue cooking for about 30 minutes longer, or until steak is very tender. Skim off excess fat. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.

Serves 6 to 8.
