Swiss Steak
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

Ingredients
1 round steak (approximately 1 1/2 pounds), see note
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (14-1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 medium onion, cut into strips
1 medium bell pepper, cut into strips

Instructions
Cut steak into serving-size pieces. Season, to taste, with garlic powder
and salt and pepper. Dust meat with flour. In heavy skillet, brown both sides of meat in vegetable
oil. Transfer to Dutch oven. Combine garlic, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and 1 tomato-can measure
of water. Pour over steak and simmer over low heat until meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours adding

water, if necessary to keep meat partially covered. Season, to taste, with additional salt and
pepper. Hint: Cook this in a slow-cooker, according to manufacturers instructions, on low for a most
fabulous dinner. Low heat on a slow cooker is about 200 degrees F and high heat on a slow cooker is
about 300 degrees F.

Note: to ensure tenderness, it is necessary to have the butcher run the round steak through a
cuber.
