Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: On low until meat is tender
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

1   (14-1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (use can and add 1 can of water)
2   cloves garlic, crushed
1/3 cup vegetable oil
all-purpose flour for dusting
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1   round steak (approximately 1 1/2 pounds) (see Note)
1   medium onion, cut into strips
1   medium bell pepper, cut into strips

Directions

Cut steak into serving-size pieces. Season, to taste, with garlic powder and salt and pepper. Dust meat with flour. In heavy skillet, brown both sides of meat in vegetable oil. Transfer to Dutch oven. Combine garlic, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and 1 tomato-can measure of water. Pour over steak and simmer over low heat until meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours adding water, if necessary to keep meat partially covered. Season, to taste, with additional salt and pepper. Hint: Cook this in a slow-cooker, according to manufacturers instructions, on low for a most fabulous dinner. Low heat on a slow cooker is about 200 degrees F and high heat on a slow cooker is about 300 degrees F.

Note: to ensure tenderness, it is necessary to have the butcher run the round steak through a cuber.

I recently received a crockpot for a wedding gift and I'm really excited to use it for this recipe, but how long do you cook it for? (Amateur cook question!)

Love Love this recipe. I cooked it in the slow cooker, and it was very tender. I added potatoes , because my husband is from the north and has to have potatoes with almost every meal. Your recipes are awesome.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!!!! I had been craving Swiss Steak, but the recipe went to my Grandmothers grave. This recipe isn't the same, it's better. (I will now be haunted by my Grandmother I'm certain.) So very good, I throw it in the Crockpot. My husband raves about how good it is!

I LOVE Paula! Sorry to have to say that this recipe is not great. Followed exactly this one became soup... Meat that did not disintegrate was bland.
