Swiss Steak

Here we have one of those recipes that your mom used to make you. This version is a little different with some coriander and coconut milk for creaminess, but the same general idea and technique is used.

Ingredients

500g inside or outside round steaks
Salt, pepper & coriander
¼ cup flour
1 tablespoon oil + 1 tablespoon butter
½ yellow onion (sliced)
2 large garlic cloves (sliced)
1 - 398ml can whole tomato (no sodium)
½ cup coconut milk
3 carrots (peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces)

Directions

Cut the steaks into bite sized pieces. Now sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper and coriander until evenly coated and then dust with flour.
On the cutting board, give the meat a light pounding with a meat mallet.
Now preheat a large fry pan or Dutch oven on medium heat. Add the oil and butter and then the seasoned meat.
Sauté the meat until nicely browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Add the onions to the hot pan and sauté until brown. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes more.
Now add the tomato including the juice and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any stuck on bits.
Add the meat back into the pan, along with the coconut milk and the carrots. Bring everything to a simmer and then reduce heat to low and cover.
Cook for 90 minutes or until the meat is relatively tender. Serve with some brown rice, quinoa or your favourite grain and enjoy some tasty comfort food.
