Ingredients

Paula's Oven-Braised Swiss Steak

3 pounds Boneless beef round, 1/2-inch thick

1 cup Dry red wine

6 tablespoons Olive oil

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon Dried rosemary, crumbled

2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped

3 tablespoons All-purpose flour

3 cups Thinly sliced onions

1 cup Well-seasoned beef broth

2 cups Peeled and coarsely chopped tomatoes

1/4 cup Chopped fresh parsley

Serves 10

Preparation

Cut the meat into small serving-size pieces. Place in a shallow bowl and

add the wine, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic.

Toss to coat the meat with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 2

hours. Drain the marinade from the meat, reserving the marinade, and wipe

meat dry. Place the flour in a shallow bowl and lightly dredge the meat.


In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining olive oil to

sizzling. Quickly brown the meat pieces on both sides. Remove the meat to a

shallow 3-quart baking dish. Scatter the sliced onions over the meat.

Preheat oven to 325°F. Stir any remaining flour into the skillet and

brown. Slowly stir reserved marinade and the beef stock into the skillet.

Bring to a simmer, stir in the tomatoes, and simmer 5 minutes. Pour the

sauce over the meat and onions and cover the baking dish with a lid or

aluminum foil.


Place the dish in the oven and bake 2 hours. (Can be made in advance up to

this point, cooled, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated or frozen.) Uncover

the casserole and bake 1 hour longer. Let stand 10 minutes and skim off any

excess fat. Sprinkle the parsley over the meat and serve.
