Quick and Easy Swiss Steak

NEED:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
paprika to taste
2 pounds beef cube steaks
3 green bell pepper, sliced into rings
3 red bell pepper, sliced into rings
4 onions, sliced into rings
4 (14.5 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and pepper, and paprika. Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture, and place in the skillet. Brown steaks on both sides, and remove from heat.
In a slow cooker, alternate layers of steak, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes.
Cover, and cook 6 to 8 hours on Low, until steaks are very tender.

This does call for use of a slow cooker and that is how I make it. You can also use a baking dish, covered tightly with a lid or tinfoil, and bake at 325 degrees for 5 to 6 hours. You want to bake it slow so the flavors soak in and for tenderness of this recipe.

Enjoy!
