Saucy Swiss Steak for Two image

The recipe comes from my 1973 "The Good Housekeeping Cookbook" which was my one-and-only cookbook for many years, before the advent of the internet. I decided to make Swiss Steak, having not made it in many years, so I dug out this old cookbook buried in the back of a kitchen cabinet (you know, the ones above the refrigerator) to get my old time recipe. I still had a place marker on the page!

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4-1 lb boneless beef round steak, cut about 1/2-inch thick
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil ("salad oil")
16 ounces tomatoes, canned
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1 onion, medium, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • On cutting board with sharp knife, trim any excess fat from meat and cut meat into 2 serving pieces. Coat meat on one side with half of the flour; with meat mallet (or edge of plate or dull edge of French knife), pound meat well. Turn meat over and repeat on other side.
  • In 8-inch skillet over medium heat, in hot oil, cook meat until browned on both sides. Add tomatoes and their liquid and remaining ingredients; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 1 hour or until meat is fork-tender.
  • Makes 2 generous servings. Serve with mashed potatoes (or rice or noodles).
