Barbara's Swiss Steak

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 6 steaks, whatever cut you like
• 1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, diced or crushed
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 1 green pepper
• 1/2 garlic clove, chopped
• meat tenderizer (optional)
• basil
• worcestershire sauce
• little flour

Recipe

• 1 if the cut of meat you are using is an inexpensive cut it is a good idea to liberally shake some meat tenderizer on it. since meat tenderizer is so salty be sure to take this into account when later seasoning the dish.
• 2 next dredge the meat in a little flour and brown it in a touch of oil. this is completely optional and if you are on a low-cal diet it's okay to use a non-stick pan and no oil or flour. it does taste better browned in the oil though.
• 3 take the meat out and put on a plate. in the same pan add the onions, and garlic and brown a little. then return the meat to the pan, add the tomatoes and the peppers, a touch of worchestershire sauce and a little basil, or whatever spices you may enjoy.
• 4 simmer for about a half an hour. the sauce should still be relativly runny and is great served on a bed of rice or whole wheat pasta.
