SWISS STEAK RECIPE
This was one of the favourite meals my mother made for us when I was growing up. I made it for my own family as well and my children still request it when I have an opportunity to cook for them. It goes wonderfully with mounds of fluffy mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Season the pieces of steak all over with some salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour and pound the flour into the steak using the side of a bread and butter plate. Keep doing this on both sides of the pieces of steak until no more flour can be absorbed. This is what makes the meat meltingly tender.
- Melt the butter and canola oil together in a large deep skillet. Brown the pounded and floured pieces of steak in the hot fat on both sides, working in batches until all of the meat is browned, and removing to a plate as it is done.
- Add the onions to the pan drippings and sauté until they are beginning to soften. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds then pour in the tomatoes, along with their juices, and the Worcestershire sauce. I like to break the tomatoes up roughly with my hands.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, and hot sauce if desired. Return the steak to the pan, submerging it in the tomato sauce.
- Cover tightly and simmer over a low heat for 1 ½ to 2 hours at which time the steak will be very tender and the sauce nicely thickened. Check it periodically to make sure there is enough liquid in the pan. If you think that it needs more, feel free to add a bit of beef stock or hot water.

SIMPLE SWISS STEAK IN A DUTCH OVEN
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.

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.

Steps:
- Rub the steak all over with the garlic clove. Using a tenderizing mallet, the back edge of a cleaver or the edge of a heavy plate, pound into both sides of the steak as much of the seasoned flour as it will hold.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet, brown the steak on both sides and remove to a suitable covered baking dish. Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
- Add onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add tomato puree, Cognac, wine, stock, thyme, savory, marjoram, bay leaf, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Pour mixture over steak, cover and bake 2 hours or until very tender.
- Carefully remove steak to a deep serving platter. Skim surface fat from the sauce in the baking dish, check seasonings and pour around steak. Pass any extra sauce at the table. Serve with mashed potatoes.
