How to Make Old Fashioned Swiss Steak

  1. Cut a 2-inch thick beef steak (about 1.5 lbs) into 2 equal pieces.
  2. Season generously with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Dredge each steak in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the flour into the meat to help tenderize.
  4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the steaks on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely seared.
  5. Transfer the browned steaks to a shallow 1-quart baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. In the same skillet, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) in the remaining drippings until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup beef broth, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  8. Pour the sauce evenly over the steaks in the baking dish.
  9. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the steak is fork-tender.
