The Perfect Recipe for Yummy Swiss Steak

The Perfect Recipe for Yummy Swiss Steak
By James Whitfield

We all prefer having steaks at our menu at any time, and Swiss steak owns the worth to get a place on our menu. It does not take much time to prepare the steak. Moreover, Swiss steaks need fewer ingredients than the other steaks to prepare. You can serve the steak to four to six people at a time.

You have to invest a sum of around 3 hr and 15 min to prepare the delicious Swiss steak properly. Budget at least 45 minutes to prepare the ingredients and 2 hr and 30 min to cook the steak.

Ingredients

1. Beef bottom round-2 pounds beef bottom round (without unnecessary fat)

2. Beef broth- 1 and 1/2 cup

3. All-purpose flour-3/4 cups

4. Onion- 1 piece and sliced thinly

5. Kosher salt- 2 teaspoons

6. Vegetable oil-1/4 cup

7. Black pepper- 1 teaspoon

8. Celery- 2 stalks and chopped

9. Can diced tomatoes- 14.5 ounce

10. Tomato paste- 1 tablespoon

11. Cloves garlic- 2 pieces

12. Dried oregano- 1 teaspoon

13. Smoked paprika- 1 teaspoon

14. Worcestershire sauce- 1 tablespoon

Process:

Before you start cooking the steak, pre-heat the oven or the pan to 325 degrees F. Then cut the meat into 1/2 inch thick slices or into a manageable serving size. Use pepper and salt to season on the both sides of sliced the meat. Put the flour, salt and pepper on a pan and mix it with the meat pieces.

Make sure the meat is dry before seasoning. Dry meats easily get mixed with the flour. Tenderise the meat until the slices become 1/4-inch thick. Further dredge the slices on both sides. It ensures the proper combination of all the ingredients with the steaks properly. Without adding the ingredients, the steak will lose taste.

Put sufficient vegetable oil on the oven covering the bottom of the pan, and set the fire on medium-high heat. Place the steaks on the pan when the oil begins shimmering. Do not overcrowd the pan with steaks. Make both sides of the steak golden brown. You can also apply butter or bacon drippings to brown the steak slices. You need roughly 2 minutes per side to make them brown. Take out the steaks and continue the same task till all the steaks get browned.

After browning the steaks, remove all the steaks to a plate. Place some onions, celery and garlic and fry 2 to 3 minutes. Blend the ingredients adding the tomato paste to combine. Then again stir the mixture adding paprika, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and beef broth to combine.

Then bring the steaks on the pot and submerge them in the liquid. Place the pot on the oven in middle rack. Do not forget to cover the pot.

Your next step is to cook the item for around 1 and 1/2 hours to 2 hours in low heat. If you do not want to count time, cook until the steak is tender or falling apart.
