Swiss Steak - Oven method

Yesterday was windy and cool.  That sort of weather always makes me feel like comfort food. Here is a great recipes for Swiss Steak done in the oven. It is just another use of braising.

SWISS STEAK - Oven Method

1- 2 pounds of cubed round steak
1 onion - rough chopped
3 cloves of garlic - smashed
3 carrots peeled and sliced
2 stocks of celery - sliced
1 can of diced tomatoes in juice 48 oz or less depending on how much steak.

Preheat the oven to 275

Cut the steak into individual serving size and dredge in seasoned flour.  Heat a Dutch Oven and add EVOO to coast the bottom.  Fry the steak until both sides are brown and remove to a dish.  Add the onion and garlic saute for 2 minutes scrapping up any brown bits.  Add the steak back in and then the tomatoes.  Stir to scrape any other brown bits and bring to simmer.  Turn off the heat, put the lid on the Dutch Oven and place it in the oven.  After 1 m-2 hours add the prepared carrots and celery. Recover and place in the over for another hour. Serve over rice or potatoes.

If the "gravy" looks to thick add beef both.
