Slow Cooker Swiss Steak recipe

Sure, here’s a simple recipe for Slow Cooker Swiss Steak:

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef round steak, cut into serving-size pieces
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Dredge the steak pieces in the flour mixture until coated evenly.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the steak pieces on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
4. Once the steak is browned, transfer it to the slow cooker.
5. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until softened, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
6. Transfer the cooked onions and garlic to the slow cooker over the steak.
7. Pour the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce over the steak.
8. If using, add the sliced green bell pepper on top.
9. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the steak is tender.
10. Serve the Swiss steak over cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles, spooning the sauce over the top.
