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

Directions

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.

Crowd pleaser
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband was craving Swiss Steak and he had been asking me to make it for quite sometime. I did not have a recipe for it... so as always, I went to Paula Dean for assistance. This recipe ROCKS! The meat was falling apart, tender and the flavors were amazing. I wouldn't change a thing! For those of you who didn't think it was flavorfull or tender....you obviously did something wrong. This recipe needs NO adjustment. I have made it a few times and we never have leftover...it's definitely a crowd pleaser! Thank you Paul Dean...you ROCK!Read more

Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a good recipe but I could not say Excellent. A definite keeper as the meat turns out very tender. I also put fresh... mushrooms in for added flavor. I am going to try this with venison.Read more

Delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

That's what my family said all during dinner tonight. This recipe was super easy to make. I did brown my cubed steaks in the... dutch oven and when browned, removed them and deglazed the pan with about 1/4 red wine and cooked it down to almost completely evaporated. Then, added the veggies, including some sliced carrots because my family love them. I added 2 cans of tomatoes because I had more meat then the recipe calls for, but otherwise completed the recipe as shown. The meat was fork tender and very flavorful. I served it with a side of oven roasted potatoes. Excellent meal!!! Thanks PaulaRead more
