I really enjoy cooking hearty meals for my family. Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing my husband and kids gobble up a dish they obviously love – and this Swiss steak is definitely one of them!

I love adding chopped fresh herbs to this recipe, to bring in new flavor every time. My favorite is coriander but I know it’s not for everyone – you could add fresh parsley instead. Or maybe you’d like to make this a bit leaner? Add more chopped bell peppers, any color! Sometimes I also add another can of tomatoes to get some more of that delicious sauce.

Ingredients

1/4 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 (2 pound) beef round steak, 1 inch thick

2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

1/4 cup water, or as needed

1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes

1 onion, minced

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Mix flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl. Sprinkle half the flour mixture on one side of round steak pieces; pound steak until coating is absorbed. Flip steak and coat with remaining flour mixture; pound steak until coating is absorbed. Cut steak into 6 pieces or smaller strips, if preferred.

Melt shortening in a large skillet over medium heat; place steak pieces or strips in the hot shortening. Cook until browned, 7 to 10 minutes per side. Cover and simmer until tender, about 1 hour, adding water as needed.

Turn steak pieces over and add tomatoes, onion, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 more minutes.
