This is the first dish that I cooked as part of the Outdoor Cooking Magic Challenge. I chose a random recipe from a cookbook and ended up cooking Swiss steak. I started with a Swiss Steak recipe, but then modified it a bit. The Dutch oven is a perfect method of cooking a dish like this, so that's what I used.
Here's the recipe that I cooked, with the instructions:
| Dutch Oven Swiss Steak |
- 1 1/2 lbs beef round steak
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cups tomato juice
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 4 tsp lemon juice
- 4 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 4 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp prepared mustard
- 1 pkg onion soup mix
- Preheat your Dutch oven (I used 10 coals underneath and 14 on top for a 12" Dutch oven)
- Sprinkle the steaks with pepper.
- Sprinkle the flour over the steaks and pound in with a mallet. Do both sides.
- Add steaks to Dutch oven and brown on both sides.
- Remove the steaks and add the onion, and sautee.
- Add all the other ingredients and stir.
- Put the steaks back in the Dutch oven and replace the lid.
- Cook for 1 1/2 hours.
- Serve with rice
And the video:
The only thing that I would have done differently was to cook the round steak longer. I only cooked it for an hour (I was running out of time), and it would have been a lot more tender had I let it cook longer, perhaps 1 1/2 hours.
If you are following along with the Challenge and cook this dish outdoors, I would love to hear what your recipe is and how you cooked it. You can do that in the comments below or on Facebook or Pinterest.
I've also randomly chosen my next dish for the Challenge: Northern Mixed Vegetables. This is a dish from a Chinese food cookbook and is a stir fry kind of a dish. The post and recipe that I'll be starting with will be up shortly.
