Most people expect a certain flavor when they bite into a Swiss steak, so this dish is a real surprise! It is a wonderful alternative to regular Swiss steak. My family really likes Mexican food, and this is one of their favorites.

Yield: 4 Servings

25 45 70

Ingredients

1 pound beef top round steak, cut into serving-size pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
10 onion slices
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup mild, medium or hot picante sauce
1/4 cup beef broth

Directions

Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. Using a mallet, pound all of the flour into the meat.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Brown the meat on both sides. Arrange onion slices over the meat. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over onions. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove meat and keep warm.
