How to Make The Mystery Chef's Swiss Steak

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge the steak in flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  4. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary and cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Add the diced tomatoes (undrained) to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  8. Return the steak to the skillet. Pour in the cup of water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  9. Transfer the skillet to a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven and cover tightly.
  10. Cook for 2 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender.
  11. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
