Braised Swiss Steak

Recipe By : Pillsbury Healthy Homestyle Meals 1/2000

4 Points Per Serving

2 cups sliced onions -- halved

2 teaspoons concentrated beef base*

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 14.5oz cans diced tomatoes -- undrained

1/2 cup water

1 1/2 pounds beef top round steak(1/2 inch thick), trimmed of fat, cut in serving-size pieces

*One-half cup of condensed beef broth can be used in place of the concentrated beef base plus the water in this recipe. ( I used 1 cup Swanson's beef broth, and it worked well.)

1. In Dutch oven or 12-inch skillet, combine all ingredients except beef; mix well. Place beef over tomato mixture. Bring to a boil. 2. Stir gently. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beef is tender.

Ingredient Info: Beef top round steak is a less tender cut of meat. Braising (cooking in a small amount of liquid) helps to tenderize the meat.

Serving Suggestion: Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and steamed broccoli are delicious accompaniments for this saucy steak.
