all-purpose flour

vegetable oil, divided

onion, (cut in half, then thinly sliced)

garlic, (minced)

celery, (diced)

tomato paste

beef broth

smoked paprika

thyme

oregano

salt

black pepper

parsley, (chopped)

potatoes rice

Set oven rack to lower third of the oven. Preheat to 325°F.

Season each steak on both sides with salt and pepper.

Place flour (1/2 cup) in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece of steak in flour on both sides, pressing to coat then shaking off excess.

Place dredged meat on a flat surface and tenderize using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick.

Heat vegetable (4 tablespoons) oil in a Dutch oven or large ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid (also ovenproof). Over medium-high heat, without crowding the pan, (I browned 1 steak at a time) brown beef on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining steaks, adding more oil as needed.

Add onion (1 medium chopped), garlic (4 cloves minced), and celery (3 stalks chopped) to pot and saute, on medium-low, until just tender, about 3-4minutes. Stir in tomato paste (1 tablespoon). Stir in beef broth (1 3/4 cups) and canned tomatoes with juice (14 ounces), scraping the bottom of the pot, to lift up all the brown bits.

Add smoked paprika (1 teaspoon), thyme (1/2 teaspoon), oregano (1 teaspoon), salt (1 1/2 teaspoons), pepper (1 teaspoon), and Worcestershire sauce (1 tablespoon) and mix.

Layer the meat back into the pot so it&#039;s submerged by the liquid and cover with the lid. Place in preheated oven and cook until the meat is very tender, 1 1/2-2 hours.

I have been waiting for a rainy day to make this again! It was such a hit last winter. This by far is one of our family's favourite recipes on your site. So easy and SO GOOD!

I'm not a blogger, but I subscribe to your lovely newsletter and just wanted to thank you for the Swiss steak recipe. Its exactly like what I've been looking for...my Mom used to make this and I never got her recipe. Can't wait to make it!

Have a super day!

Made this tonight and it was super yummy! I added some frozen corn, holy smokes this is so good on a cold evening! Thanks Lauren!

I fixed your recipe the other week and OMG it was really good.  About to make it again!  Thanks.

Made this over the weekend and it was a big hit! My husband wants it on my regular rotation now :) I made it in the crockpot and it turned out very tender and yummy.  Thanks for your great recipes!

We used to put the potatoes in during the last half hour of cooking, then some times serve over hot noodles. This looks so good over the mashed potatoes. Will try it next time I make it. Thanks for all the yummy recipes.

Easy Swiss Steak

beef cube steak

salt (My Y'all Salt works great here!)

vegetable oil

unsalted beef broth

1 (.87 to 1-ounce) packet brown gravy mix

Lightly season cubed steak with seasoned salt and dredge in flour.

Heat the oil over medium heat in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven. Sear the steaks in the oil for about 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary as to not crowd the pan.

Remove steaks from pan and set aside. Add beef broth, packet of brown gravy mix, and can of diced tomatoes with the juice.  Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan.

Add the steaks back to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until meat is fork tender.

This is a fantastic recipe! It truly is easy, affordable, and delicious! I tried it once in the slow cooker - 6 hours on low - but the sauce took on a slight scorched taste (to me anyway). This time I have it cooking in the electric skillet, and it looks and smells wonderful! Thank you for sharing!

I have made this recipe twice.  Made it according to the instructions.  Turned out excellent each time.  Family loves it!   Thank you for the recipe!

This recipe is delicious! I’ve made it quite a few times now. I have also made it in the oven with success. I’m making this for dinner tonight as well. Thanks for such a wonderful comfort food recipe!
