CHEAP BASTID'S SWISS STEAK (TWEAKED BY BLONDIE)
This recipe is by a guy who was a member with several of us JAPPERS when we were members of a cooking site called The Mixing Bowl. I've since found the Cheap Bastid again on Pinterest. I guess I've made this recipe at least 1/2 dozen times. It is the best swiss steak I've ever cooked or eaten. I hope you enjoy it. Very simple, but so tasty. It doesn't last very long at my house! It is served OVER mashed potatoes...how could it go wrong? ;)

Steps:
- Cut steak into 2-4 equal pieces if you bought Un-tenderized steak. Place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Pound with a mallet or the flat side of a tenderizer. Flatten to about 1/2" thin. Repeat with remainder of meat. If you buy cube steak you can save time because the preceding steps are already done for you. Salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
- Season flour with a liberal amount of salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in large skillet on med-hi till shimmery. Dredge meat in flour, shaking excess off before putting in skillet. Cook meat in batches, so it has room to brown. Allow oil to reach shimmery point before adding next batch. *You may need to add more oil between batches* Set browned meat aside on paper towels to drain. Don't worry about the meat being done at this point It's going back in the skillet with the sauce later.
- Now in the same skillet, saute` veggies until onions are translucent, not brown. Next add tomatoes and juice . Put steak in skillet. Cover pan. Now lower heat to low or simmer. You want the sauce to barely bubble, not a full boil.
- Allow to simmer about 1/2 hour or till sauce is the consistency you like. This will be served over the mashed potatoes...recipe to follow.
- NOW FOR THE POTATOES. Peel and slice potatoes 1" thick. Put in large sauce pan or dutch oven. Cover with cold tap water. Put lid on. Bring to a boil on med-hi heat. Lower to low or simmer~allow potatoes to cook in water that is barely boiling so potatoes don't get mushy.
- When fork tender (about 20-22 minutes) drain well, then put potatoes back in the hot pan over heat until the water has evaporated. Now put potatoes in a large bowl. Add butter and milk. Mash by hand (not a mixer~you don't want them to get starchy and stiff) until consistency cook likes. I like mine a little lumpy ;)
- When steak is done, remove from heat. Leave lid on the steak. Warm plates in the oven on 150-170* about 4-5 minutes. This is a nice touch and it keeps the food warm longer.
- Put a large serving of potatoes in the middle of each plate, then stack pieces of steak upright like a tee-pee. Pour sauce over steak and potatoes. Brag to everyone who wasn't there, about how good it was!

You may have to cook the meat in two batches if your pan is too small, add more oil inbewteen batches. Add the browned steaks to the slow cooker. Sprinkle over any excess flour from the plate.
- Deglaze the pan that you browned the meat in with by adding the beef consomme and scrapping up any brown bits. Add to the slow cooker on top of the beef.
