    Utensils Used
    | 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. | 2. Grease interior of covered roasting pan or Dutch oven. | 3. Cut round steak into serving size pieces (approximately 4 inch squares). | 4. Sprinkle both sides of steak pieces with Aldolph's tenderizer. | 5. Place flour into plastic zip lock bag and place on a chopping block (or if you don't mind the flour mess clean-up, just place half the flour on a sheet of waxed paper that's on top of a chopping block). | 6. Place 4 or 5 pieces of steak into the bag of flour, turning over several times to coat, then using the edge of a dinner plate, pound the flour into the meat. | 7. Do this to both sides several times. | 8. Remove the "pounded and floured" meat, and continue with remaining pieces. | 9. Heat heavy skillet until droplet of water rolls when dropped into hot skillet. | 10. Now add the Crisco; when Crisco is melted, add the butter. | 11. Quickly fry steak pieces, in batches, until browned good on both sides. | 12. Remove to plate until all steak has been browned. | 13. Lower heat, add onions and green peppers, about 1/4 tsp black pepper with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and scant 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. | 14. Remember NOT to salt the steak if you've used Aldolph's tenderizer, but you do need to salt the onions and green pepper. | 15. Cook the peppers and onions until lightly browned on edges. | 16. Do not let burn! | 17. Pour in the canned whole tomatoes and tomato sauce. | 18. Break up tomatoes a bit with a spoon, leaving some in rather large pieces. | 19. When this comes to a boil, remove from heat. | 20. Pour tomato, green pepper, onion mixture into bottom of the greased roasting pan. | 21. Place fried steak over the top. | 22. Cover and bake 1 3/4 hours. | 23. Check liquid about half way through baking time, add 1/4-1/2 cup water if necessary to keep sauce from drying out. | 24. You want to maintain a gravy. | 25. Serve in large "Country Style Bowl" with side dish of buttered and creamed mashed potatoes. | 26. My family enjoys mayo cole slaw as the side dish with the Swiss Steak. | 27. AND lots of bread and butter to dunk into the "gravy". | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
