Swiss Steak in Wine Sauce image

I got this recipe a few years back, and it has become one of my family's absolute favorites. This meal is great for Sunday dinners, as it takes a good 8 hours to cook, which gives you the most tender Swiss Steak you will ever eat. My husband, whom does not like anything "meat" tasting loves this one. The thing that makes it so different is the use of burgandy wine. Also, I have only made it with a crock pot, but I am sure that if you don't have one you could cook it in the oven at at low temp. for the 6 hours. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do.

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs beef round steak, cut 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced carrot
2 tablespoons chopped green peppers
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups Burgundy wine
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 cups reserved liquid
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Trim fat from steak; cut meat into 6 equal pirces. Coat with mixture of flour, salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Pound stak to 1/2 inch thickness using meat mallet. Brown meat in hot oil; drain. Place onion, carrot, and green pepper in crock pot. Place meat atop. Combine UNDRAINED tomatoes, Burgundy, garlic and sugar. Pour over meat. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 8 to 10 hours. Transfer meat and vegetables to serving platter. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid for Wine Sauce.
  • Wine Sauce:.
  • Pour reserved liquid into saucepan. Blend 1/4 cup cold water slowly into 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; stir into liquid. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Season to taste.
  • ****I usually double the ingredients to make the wine sauce (only because I have a family of 6) and it makes just enough to spoon over everybody's meal. You should get just about 3 cups of liquid when it is done cooking.
  • Spoon some sauce over meat; pass remaining sauce.
