SWISS STEAK RECIPE
This was one of the favourite meals my mother made for us when I was growing up. I made it for my own family as well and my children still request it when I have an opportunity to cook for them. It goes wonderfully with mounds of fluffy mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Season the pieces of steak all over with some salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour and pound the flour into the steak using the side of a bread and butter plate. Keep doing this on both sides of the pieces of steak until no more flour can be absorbed. This is what makes the meat meltingly tender.
- Melt the butter and canola oil together in a large deep skillet. Brown the pounded and floured pieces of steak in the hot fat on both sides, working in batches until all of the meat is browned, and removing to a plate as it is done.
- Add the onions to the pan drippings and sauté until they are beginning to soften. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds then pour in the tomatoes, along with their juices, and the Worcestershire sauce. I like to break the tomatoes up roughly with my hands.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, and hot sauce if desired. Return the steak to the pan, submerging it in the tomato sauce.
- Cover tightly and simmer over a low heat for 1 ½ to 2 hours at which time the steak will be very tender and the sauce nicely thickened. Check it periodically to make sure there is enough liquid in the pan. If you think that it needs more, feel free to add a bit of beef stock or hot water.

SWISS STEAK
An old family favorite salvaged from our 30-plus-year-old cookbook. We like this served over egg noodles. I like to increase the tomatoes to a 15 ½-ounce can, and I use a full green pepper and add a teaspoon of paprika.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour mixture. Tenderize the meat using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge the slices on both sides once more and set aside.
- Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
- Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.
SWISS STEAK
My family loves this family recipe for swiss steak. As a kid I loved to come home from school and smell this cooking in the crock pot. My Mom serves it with white rice or buttered egg noodles, I love it with steamed veggies. For easy clean up I use either a Reynolds crock-pot liner (hard to find) or dump all ingredients (except mushrooms or they will be real soft) in a Reynolds oven-bag twist-tie and put the whole thing in the crock pot, pop on the lid and in 6-8hrs, viola dinner.
