Contest Winning Recipe

Indiana Swiss Steak

I entered the Indiana State Beef Contest and won first place with this recipe. A mixture of picante sauce, ketchup, cider vinegar and veggies enhances the tender slices of steak that are served over pasta. I use bow tie pasta, but you could substitute rice. - Ann Dixon North Vernon, Indiana
