Directions
1. Season and tenderize the steak :
-
-
- In a small dish, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Tenderize the steak by using a mallet, then fully cover both sides with the seasoned flour mixture. Press the spices well into the meat for a maximum absorption of flavor.
-
2. Sear the Meat :
-
-
- Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the steak onto the pan, searing for roughly 3 minutes without moving it to generate a golden crust. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Once browned, remove from the pan and put aside.
-
3. Prepare the vegetables :
-
-
- To the same skillet, bring the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrots, and mushrooms. Sauté the veggies for roughly 5 minutes, periodically stirring, until the onion becomes translucent and the vegetables begin to soften.
-
4. Simmer the meat :
-
-
- Pour in the stewed tomatoes and nestle the meat and its collected juices back into the pan. Allow the mixture to attain a medium simmer. Cover the pan, decrease the heat to low, and let it braise for around 1 ½ hours until the steak becomes melt-in-your-mouth soft.
-
5. Serve with Style :
-
-
- Garnish the meal with freshly cut parsley. Serve the Swiss steak with its tasty tomato and vegetable sauce over a warm bed of rice for an entirely gratifying eating experience.
