Had to double flour mixture and added celery on last step. Came out great very tender and wife and I ate til we were catatonic.
Added a few steps - chicken-fried the steak (had better luck with the coating) put in a 9x13 baking pan, added the peppers, tomatoes and onion, covered and baked at 350 for approximately one hour. Tender!
used red and yellow peppers and used fresh tomato's out of the garden.the whole family loved it.....(-:..
I made this tonight for the first time in many years. It's the exact same recipe I used to make from a cookbook that was a wedding gift--40 years ago! I rarely fry things (to mess up the stove) but it was worth the effort. My husband went back for seconds! Since my Swiss steak was 2 1/2 pounds I used a 15 ounce can of petite diced tomatoes and a little extra water with a dissolved bouillon cube. I did put it in a 9x13 dish after browning (so I could go ahead and clean the kitchen) and baked covered with foil. Frozen chopped bell peppers worked fine. I will not wait so long to make this again. Very yummy and tender was good served with rice.
I had never made Swiss steak and came upon this recipe now i make it at least once a month for myself and my husband and we love it. I never do anything different except I use chicken stock in place of water. Also I sometimes use tenderizer on an inexpensive cut of beef but as long as the beef is pounded out and cooked for the time stated it really isn't necessary it is nice and tender. We eat ours with steamed jasmine rice yummy! Thanks for this great recipe.
I did this in the crockpot for about 5 1/2 hrs. I tasted at the end and definitely thought it need more sauce and seasoning...so I added in about a cup more water a bouillon cube and some garlic powder...also added a flour water slurry to thicken it up a bit. Served it over egg noodles topped with some chopped fresh parsley and it was devoured!
My grandma use to make something like this and never got the recipe (really wasn't one) then i found this recipe it was sooo much like hers so gave it a shot!!! After a few minor changes it was just like hers!!!!! I used olive oil instead of shortening and a bit more then it called for I put the flour and salt pepper & meat in Ziploc bag then shook it off as I added to the oil browned the meat threw in veggies and canned diced tomatoes 14 oz. Instead of 8 a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce and a cup or so of tomato juice and salt and pepper and let'r simmer for about 2 hrs.
My daughter had a similar dish at a friend's cattle branding but it was prepared by the chuck wagon in a Dutch oven over a fire. She kept describing it & asking me to prepare it so I went searching for a recipe & this is the one I settled on. She says it is mighty close to what they ate at branding. My family went crazy over it & it is now on our list of family favorites!
This was great! I also baked it and added about a cup of beef broth and a tsp of Worcestershire sauce. Will definitely make again.
This was OK for me. Thanks for recipe it's always fun to try new recipes.
