Diet Swiss Style Braised Steak

Submitted by David McCarthy, Australia




Diet Swiss Style Braised Steak brings together the flavors of beef, onion and tomato to produce a meal that the entire family will enjoy. The advantage of braising steak is that you can choose the less expensive cuts of beef and produce a melt in the mouth meal.

This recipe uses round steak but it could be any of the less expensive cuts. All beef has the same nutritional value so if you learn to cook the cheaper cuts you are helping your budget.

This recipe calls for an approximate cooking time of 2 hours. It will make very little difference to the end product if you leave it cooking for two and half, or even three, hours.


Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds (750 grams) top beef round steak, 1/2 inch (12mm) thick

2 cups sliced onions, halved

2 teaspoons concentrated beef base or beef stock

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 14.5oz cans diced tomatoes, undrained

1/2 cup water



Method

Combine all ingredients except beef in a 12 inch (25mm) skillet (heavy pan) and mix together.

Trim all fat from beef and cut to serving size pieces then place on top of the other ingredients, bring to boil.

Reduce heat, then cover and simmer until beef is tender, usually 2 hours.

Serves: 6

Swiss style braised steak is enhanced when served with a glass of full-bodied red wine like Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon.
