How to Make Green Chile Swiss Steak

  1. Season the meat (about 1.5 lbs) generously with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Dredge the seasoned meat in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, ensuring it's lightly coated.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Brown the meat on both sides in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  5. Remove the browned meat from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  7. Pour in 1 cup beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.
  8. Return the meat to the skillet. Add 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles (undrained), 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, and 1/2 cup water.
  9. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 1.5-2 hours, or until the meat is incredibly tender.
  10. Optional: For a thicker sauce, remove the meat and simmer the sauce uncovered for 10-15 minutes to reduce.
