SKILLET SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Sprinkle steaks with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge the steaks in it.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook the steaks until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add onion slices and cook, turning once and pressing with a spatula a few times, until browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes total. Stir in bell pepper, separating the onion rings as you stir, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, for 15 seconds. Add tomatoes with their juice and Worcestershire. Cook, stirring, breaking up the tomatoes and scraping up any browned bits, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve the sauce over the steaks.

Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.

Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid.
