Family Swiss Steak

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 1/2 pounds boneless beef round steak, 1 thick
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Canola oil cooking spray as needed
1 large garlic clove peeled, and
thinly sliced
2 medium celery ribs thinly sliced
2 medium onions peeled, and
thinly sliced
4 medium plum tomatoes thinly sliced
1/2 cup reduced-sodium canned beef broth

Method

In a small bowl, combine flour, thyme, and paprika. Using a pastry brush, brush steak pieces with Worcestershire sauce. Dredge in flour mixture.

Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place on stove over medium-high heat. Add steak pieces and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

Transfer steak pieces to a 3-quart or larger crockery slow cooker. Top with garlic slices, celery, onions, and tomatoes. Pour beef broth over the top. Do not stir.

Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours.

To serve, transfer steak pieces and vegetables to a heated serving platter. Spoon any pan juices over the top and serve at once.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
