Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs Swiss steak (beef)
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme (optional) Fresh herbs can be used for better aroma and flavor.
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (for garnish), chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the Swiss steak dry, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and sear it on both sides until browned. Remove the steak and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion and minced garlic for about 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Add diced tomatoes and beef broth to the skillet, stirring to scrape up brown bits for added flavor.
- Season the mixture with Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme (if using).
- Transfer the seared steak to a baking dish and pour the broth and vegetable mixture over it.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Roast in the oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours or until the steak is tender.
- Check for tenderness after roasting. If not fork-tender, re-cover and roast longer.
- Once cooked, let the Swiss steak rest for a few minutes, slice it, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Tips include ensuring to sear the meat well for flavor enhancement and using a meat thermometer for checking tenderness. For enhanced flavor, marinate overnight and avoid rushing the cooking process.
