Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 yellow onion
• 1 green bell pepper
• 3 garlic cloves
• 14.5 ounces fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak, then cut it into 6 equal portions.

Step 2

Combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece of beef in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pieces of beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. You may need to work in batches. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.

Step 4

Thinly slice the yellow onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves. Spread the onion, bell pepper, and garlic over the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 5

In a blender or food processor, combine the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, beef broth, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the chipotle sauce over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is coated evenly.

Step 7

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 8

Before serving, stir in the fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve the Swiss steak warm with cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
