Love this take on Swiss Steak.
I needed to use up some of the "many peppers" my dad bagged up for me last
time I was out at their place.
I love cooking with peppers. They add such a wonderful flavor to dishes.

The steak in this turned out fork tender and the
sauce was rich with flavor and totally delicious.
I used Fresno peppers (jalapeno will work), which I seeded, and it didn't
make it spicy at all. If you have a hankering for a little heat, don't seed
one of them, or both of them. It's up to you.

Swiss-Italian Steak
2 lbs bottom round steak, cut into 8 pieces
2 tbsp oil, plus
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp seasoning salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 large onion, cut in 1/2 and sliced
2 large red peppers (or peppers of choice), cut into 2”
strips
2 fresno peppers, seeded, deveined and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of salt and pepper
1/4 cup red wine
1 28oz can whole tomatoes, broken up
1 14.5oz Italian stewed tomatoes
1 cup beef broth, low sodium
1 tbsp Worcestershire
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 large bay leaf
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a Dutch oven.
Mix together flour, salts and pepper; rub into steaks on
both sides. In 2 batches, brown steak on both sides using remaining tbsp. of
oil for the second batch, and remove to a plate; set aside.
Add more oil to pan if necessary and sauté onion and
peppers with a pinch of salt and pepper until softened; add garlic and stir.
Deglaze pan with wine, stirring up bits from bottom; add tomatoes and remaining
ingredients including steak. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 2
hours. Off-set the lid for the last hour of cooking time to help thicken sauce.
Taste for seasoning adding salt and pepper, if desired.
