• Wine Sauce:.
• Pour reserved liquid into saucepan. Blend 1/4 cup cold water slowly into 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; stir into liquid. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Season to taste.
• ****I usually double the ingredients to make the wine sauce (only because I have a family of 6) and it makes just enough to spoon over everybody's meal. You should get just about 3 cups of liquid when it is done cooking.
• Spoon some sauce over meat; pass remaining sauce.

SWISS STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND RED WINE

Steps:

• Rub the steak all over with the garlic clove. Using a tenderizing mallet, the back edge of a cleaver or the edge of a heavy plate, pound into both sides of the steak as much of the seasoned flour as it will hold.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet, brown the steak on both sides and remove to a suitable covered baking dish. Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
• Add onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add tomato puree, Cognac, wine, stock, thyme, savory, marjoram, bay leaf, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Pour mixture over steak, cover and bake 2 hours or until very tender.
• Carefully remove steak to a deep serving platter. Skim surface fat from the sauce in the baking dish, check seasonings and pour around steak. Pass any extra sauce at the table. Serve with mashed potatoes.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 t. salt, and 1/4 t. pepper; coat the steak with the mixture.
• In a large skillet, heat 4 T. of the oil over medium-high heat; add the steak and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through. (If your skillet is not large enough to cook all the steak at once, cook it in two batches, adding more oil if needed.) Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 T. of oil over medium-high heat and saute the celery and onion for about 5 minutes or until tender. Add the carrot slices, spaghetti sauce, and the remaining salt and pepper; mix well. Add the steak to the mixture, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until warmed through.

MY MOTHER'S SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Stir flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl. Sprinkle pieces of steak with flour mixture and pound the flour mixture into the meat with a meat mallet or the edge of a sturdy plate.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the floured beef in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low, pour in water, cover skillet, and simmer beef until tender, about 1 hour. Add more water to the skillet if needed to prevent burning.
• Mix diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Pour tomato mixture over beef, bring to a simmer, and cook until sauce has thickened, about 30 more minutes.
