    Old-Fashioned Swiss Steak

    We had some round steak in the freezer from when my parents visited a few months back, so I looked up an easy recipe to use it up.

    This is a really low-maintenance recipe, and the results are pretty tasty! The meat was super tender after baking for so long, which was really nice.

    The only change I made was to use a can of V8 since I had them on hand, and not straight-up tomato juice. I served this with brown rice and a quick green bean dish that I came up with to use up the rest of the can of diced tomatoes.

    Swiss steak covered with onion sauce served with green beans and rice.

    "My husband and I enjoyed this recipe for so many years, recalls Vera Kleiber in Raleigh, North Carolina. The sauce is wonderful, and the dish always brings back memories."

    Prep Time: 20 Min
    Cook Time: 1 Hr 30 Min
    Ready In: 1 Hr 50 Min Yield 2 servings

    ¾ pound beef top round steak
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    ⅛ teaspoon pepper
    1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 (5.5 ounce) can tomato juice
    ½ cup diced canned tomatoes
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
    ½ teaspoon prepared mustard

    Cut steak into two pieces; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using a mallet, pound flour into the meat. In a large skillet, brown meat in oil on both sides. Transfer to a shallow 1-qt. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.

    In the same skillet, saute onion in drippings until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour over meat. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 1-½ hours or until tender.
