How to Make Copycat Mccormick Swiss Steak Bag And Seasoning

  1. **Make the Seasoning Mix:** In a resealable jar, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons minced dried onion, 1 tablespoon dried and powdered green bell pepper (dehydrated and ground if fresh peppers are used), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon paprika.
  2. Seal the jar tightly and shake well to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  3. Store the seasoning mix in a cool, dark place for up to one month.
  4. **Prepare the Swiss Steak:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Generously coat both sides of a 1 1/2 lb eye of round steak with the seasoning mix. Pierce the steak several times with a fork.
  6. Let the steak sit for 5 minutes.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 8 ounces (1 cup) tomato sauce and 1 cup water.
  8. Place the steak in an oven-safe cooking bag. Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the steak.
  9. Seal the bag, ensuring it's tightly closed. Pierce the top of the bag several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
