SWISS STEAK

a Mark Stutler favorite

Ingredients:
1 large round steak, 1” thick
2 cans mushrooms (or fresh, washed and sliced)
½ tsp. garlic
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
1 C. water (plus more)
½ C. onion, chopped
½ C. green bell pepper, chopped*
½ C. ketchup

*can use combination of red and green peppers, and more if desired

Directions:
Cut meat into serving pieces. Cover with flour and place in heavy skillet. Add garlic, salt and pepper and brown. Pour in enough hot water to prevent sticking while cooking. Reduce heat to low-medium, cover and cook meat for 2 hours (will look like gravy). Add mushrooms, 1 C. water, onions, green pepper and ketchup and cook for 30 minutes. Remove lid and cook another 30 minutes (until juice boils down to a thick gravy). Serve over steamed rice. This recipe can be modified for crock pot. Add browned meat and remaining ingredients to crock pot and cook on low for aprx. 8 hours.
