Equipment

5 Qt Dutch Oven

Ingredients

4 Pounds Round Steak Cubed, Sandwich or Eye
10 Cloves Garlic (minced)
4-5 Cups Beef Broth
½ Cup Flour (to dredge)
Salt
Pepper
2 Tsp Vegeta Seasoning (optional)
¼ Cup Vegetable oil or Bacon Fat

Instructions

To begin tenderize the beef with a meat mallot.
Salt and pepper the beef on both sides.
Dredge the beef in flour and set aside.
Heat the oil or bacon fat in the Dutch Oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on both sides. It's important not to completely cook the beef in this step. Once the beef has browned set it aside.
In the same Dutch Oven add your garlic for one minute (until it becomes fragrant) then deglaze the bottom of the pan with one cup of beef broth. Scrap all the frying bits off the bottom of the pan.
Add the beef back to the Dutch Oven and the remaining beef broth. Stir to combine the garlic into the beef broth.
There are two cooking options here:
Stove: On the stove bring the beef to a boil and let it simmer on the stove for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until the beef begins to fall apart. Make sure you periodically scrap the bottom with a flat wooden spoon so the beef doesn't begin to stick to the bottom.
Oven: Cover the Dutch Oven and place into a 325 degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, Make sure you periodically scrap the bottom with a flat wooden spoon so the beef doesn't begin to stick to the bottom.
There is no need to thicken the sauce it will automatically thicken due to the flour dredge that's on the meat.
Ensure you taste the Swiss Steak for salt and pepper prior to serving. I like to add a teaspoon spoonful of Vegeta at the end for more flavor. But this is optional. Serve with rice, noodles, or creamy mashed potatoes.
