Swiss Steak

Cultural Context

Swiss Steak, despite its name, is an American dish that originated from the practice of 'swissing' or tenderizing meat. It reflects the resourcefulness of home cooks in using tougher cuts of beef, transforming them into a flavorful meal through slow cooking. Today, it's a comforting classic enjoyed in many households, often served with hearty sides.

CHCHmain
6 servings
Servings4
2 pounds round steak
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (14 ounces) can tomatoes
2 cups beef broth
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1

Preheat the oven to 300 F.

2

Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Add the flour to a bowl and coat each piece well, shaking off the excess.

3

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef to the pan and sear both sides well around 2 to 3 minutes each side, then set aside.

4

Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. You want to scrape all the bits off of the bottom of the pan, then add the onions and celery. Cook for 4 minutes until they soften. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.

5

Stir in the tomato paste, and then add the chopped tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Make sure these ingredients are combined well.

6

Once you bring the sauce to a boil, reduce it to a simmer. Add the beef back into the skillet and make sure it's fully submerged under the sauce. Cover and place in the oven for 2 hours, or until the sauce has reduced and the beef is tender. Make sure to stir occasionally.

7

To serve, sprinkle with fresh parsley.
