Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

(4 servings)

Ingredients:

1 can (14 oz.) Petite Diced Tomatoes

1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 large Green Pepper, chopped

1 medium Onion, chopped

4 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced

1 tsp. Dried Thyme, crushed

1½ lb. Round Steak, ½ inch thick

 As needed Salt and Pepper

½ cup All Purpose Flour (optional)

Directions:

In a 4 to 6 qt. slow cooker, combine tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, peppers, onion, garlic and thyme.  Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.  Salt and pepper each side of the steaks and prick with a fork all over.  See note below if using flour.  Add steak to the sauce covering them and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.  Or cook on high for around 4 hours.  Serve over cooked noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.

Note:               If using the flour, dredge the steaks in it and sear in a skillet over medium-high heat on both sides.  Then continue with the directions above.

Note:               If short on time or don’t have a slow cooker, use the oven.  Using a Dutch oven, follow the above directions and place in a pre-heated 325-degree oven for 2 hours or until steak is tender and falling apart.

Note:               If you like a lot of sauce, double the cans of diced tomatoes.
