Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Swiss Steak
  1. Begin by dredging your 2 lb chuck or round steak in a mixture of ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Set it aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, then remove it.
  3. Using the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 4-6 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced carrots, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the browned steak to the skillet, cover, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for approximately 1.5 hours.
  6. Check the seasoning and adjust as needed. Stir to blend the flavors, then serve.
