Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Brown steak on both sides, then remove.
  2. Add onions and bell pepper to the same pan and cook until softened.
  3. Add garlic and stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried herbs, and beef broth.
  4. Return steak to the pan, cover, and simmer on low for 1½ hours, until tender.

Notes

Serve Swiss steak hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles to soak up the sauce. It can also be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat slowly.
