Make this simple Swiss steak in a Dutch oven! I always thought Swiss steak was from Switzerland, but it’s not. “Swiss” refers to the treatment of the steak — it's the process of rolling or pounding the tough cut to make it tender. You can't beat a long braise to make fork-tender meat. I've kept the “Swiss” technique but added my own flavors. Feel free to add your own twist! Serve it over egg noodles and with a crusty loaf of bread.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 pounds London broil, cut into 2-inch cubes

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 cup beef stock

  • 1 cup diced celery

  • 2 small onions, diced

  • 3 carrots, diced

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

Directions

  1. Combine flour, seasoned salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.

  2. Spread beef cubes out onto a cutting board. Sprinkle flour mixture over top and toss beef to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, then gently but firmly pound the steak with a mallet or the back of a soup ladle to tenderize.

  3. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes; cook and stir until browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add undrained diced tomatoes, beef stock, celery, onions, carrots, and bell pepper. Mix well and bring to a boil.

  4. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Crack the lid of the pot about 1/2 inch to let the steam escape. Continue to simmer until beef is tender, about 1 hour more.
