Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 cup canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 cups white rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak. Cut the steak into 4 equal portions and pound each piece with a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

Season both sides of the beef with salt and black pepper. Dredge the pieces in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces on both sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Slice the onion into thin rings and dice the green bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté the onion and bell pepper for 5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the crushed pineapple with its juice, tomato sauce, beef broth, paprika, and oregano to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Return the seared steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve the Pineapple Swiss Steak over cooked white rice, or enjoy on its own with your favorite sides.
