How do you cook Swiss steak?

To cook Swiss steak, start by tenderizing a cut of beef, such as round steak, and then season it with salt and pepper. Sear the meat in a hot skillet until browned on both sides, then remove it and sauté onions and garlic in the same pan. Return the steak to the skillet, add diced tomatoes, beef broth, and any desired seasonings, then cover and simmer on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours until the meat is tender. Serve the Swiss steak with the sauce over mashed potatoes or rice.
