This Swiss steak (round steak in tomato sauce) is so good! It’s just one of many round steak recipes I serve my family. Gotta keep dinner interesting, right?
Swiss steak is made using round steaks which are leaner, tougher cuts of meat, so they need to be tenderized. I tenderize round steak myself by using a meat tenderizer tool, but you can always ask the butcher to do it for you when you’re purchasing the meat in the grocery store.
For this Swiss steak recipe, I use a top round steak and after I tenderize it on both sides (I REALLY pound it hard), I place it in a large frying pan (that’s oven-safe) and brown it on both sides.
Once the round steak is browned, add some beef broth to it.
Next comes tomato soup, bay leaves and oregano.
Then add the cubed potatoes.
And finally the onion.
Bake for 45 minutes then sprinkle the drained green beans over the top.
Bake it for another 20 minutes uncovered. Before serving, remove the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste.
