SIMPLE SWISS STEAK IN A DUTCH OVEN

Simple Swiss Steak in a Dutch Oven image

All these years I've thought Swiss steak was from Switzerland! It's not. Swiss is the treatment of the steak. It's the process of rolling or pounding the tough cut to make it tender. I've kept the "Swissing" technique and added my own flavors. It's pretty simple. The hardest part is cutting the veggies. You can't beat a long braise to make meat--cut-with-a-fork tender. Feel free to add your own twist! Serve it over egg noodles and with a crusty loaf of bread.

Ingredients

2 pounds London broil
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup beef stock
1 cup diced celery
2 small onions, diced
3 medium (blank)s carrots, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced

Steps:

Cut London broil into 2-inch cubes and spread out on a cutting board. Combine flour, seasoned salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl; sprinkle over meat. Toss to coat.
Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the steak and gently, but firmly, pound the steak with a mallet or the back of a soup ladle.
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir meat until browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add diced tomatoes with juice, beef stock, celery, onions, carrots, and bell pepper. Mix well and bring to a boil.
Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Crack the lid of the pot about 1/2 inch to let the steam escape. Continue to simmer until beef is tender, about 1 hour more.
