Dinner Tonight

Swiss Steak with Tomato

2-3 lb. round steak - about 1 in. thick
2 T. flour
1 T. olive oil
2 large onions
1/2 green pepper
2 large tomatoes, chopped or pureed
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 bay leaf

Cut off visible fat from steak. Cut the steak into serving size pieces. Sprinkle the steak with flour and pound it a bit between sheets of waxed paper.

Heat oil in skillet. I used a nonstick electric frying pan. You may need more oil if you use a regular skillet. Cook steak until well browned on both sides. Remove from skillet and place in crock pot.

To drippings in skillet add onion and green pepper. Cook stirring frequently until onions are browned. Add tomatoes and seasonings. Heat until bubbly then pour over meat in crock pot.

Cook in crock pot on low for 6 - 8 hours.

Serve over real mashed potatoes, rice or pasta.
And don't forget the veggies!
