Best Microwave Swiss Steak Recipes

EASY SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Swiss the steak: Use a meat tenderizer mallet to poke holes into each slice of steak on both sides. You can also do with a fork or pairing knife.
• Dredge through flour: Generously salt the beef slices with salt and pepper. Add the flour to a shallow bowl. Dredge each piece of beef well in the flour.
• Sear the steak: Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dredged beef to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until seared and well browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
• Sauté onion: Add the remaining tbsp of olive oil to the skillet along with the onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until they soften and get translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until aromatic.
• Add the rest of ingredients: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then add the diced tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together well.
• Braise: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the beef back to the skillet and make sure it's fully submerged. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until the sauce has reduced to your liking and the beef is tender. Stir occasionally.
• Finish & serve: Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with parsley and serve.
