Family Swiss Steak

(makes 6 servings)

 

 

2 tablespoons (18 g) unbleached all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) crushed dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) sweet paprika

1 1/2 pounds (720 g) boneless beef round steak, cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick

1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce

canola oil cooking spray

1 large garlic clove, peeled and thinly sliced

2 medium celery ribs, thinly sliced

2 medium onions, peeled and thinly sliced

4 medium plum tomatoes, thinly sliced

1/2 cup (120 ml) reduced-sodium canned beef broth

 

 

In a small bowl, combine flour, thyme, and paprika. Using a pastry brush, brush steak pieces with Worcestershire sauce. Dredge in flour mixture.

Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place on stove over medium-high heat. Add steak pieces and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

Transfer steak pieces to a 3-quart (3-liter) or larger crockery slow cook. Top with garlic slices, celery, onions, and tomatoes. Pour beef broth over the top. Do not stir.

Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours.

To serve, transfer steak pieces and vegetables to a heated serving platter. Spoon any pan juices over the top and serve at once.
