Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef round steaks
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 bell peppers, sliced (any color)
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 8 oz tomato sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp paprika

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the beef round steaks in the flour mixture, coating both sides.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steak on both sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to the slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, and sauté the onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.

Step 4

Layer the bell peppers and carrots over the steak in the slow cooker.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and paprika. Stir well and pour the mixture over the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once cooked, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve the Swiss Steak hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a hearty, satisfying meal.
