Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Beef round steak
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 teaspoon Black pepper
• 14.5 ounce can Crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 cup Carrots, sliced
• 1 medium Onion, sliced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large Cooking bag

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.

Step 3

Cut the beef round steak into 4 equal portions and coat each piece with the seasoning blend, reserving a small amount of the mixture for later.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly sear the beef on both sides until browned. This helps to seal in the flavor.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and the remaining seasoning mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Place the cooking bag inside a large baking dish and ensure the opening faces outward for easy filling.

Step 7

Layer the sliced carrots, onion, and green bell pepper in the bottom of the bag.

Step 8

Add the seared beef over the vegetables and pour the tomato-beef broth mixture over the top.

Step 9

Seal the cooking bag with the provided tie or according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure to leave a small opening for steam to escape.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 11

Carefully remove the cooking bag from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before opening. Watch out for the steam when opening the bag.

Step 12

Serve the Swiss steak and vegetables over a bed of mashed potatoes or with a side of rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!
