Italian “Swiss” Steak

Place flour in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add beef, a couple of pieces at a time, and shake to coat. Remove meat from the bag , shaking off the excess flour.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown steak on both sides in butter (don’t skimp here and use margarine – enjoy the real thing and use real butter!). Add the tomatoes, salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Bring to a boil/bubble. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove cover, turn meat, and re-coat the tops of the steak with the surrounding sauce. Add green pepper and onion. Cover and simmer for another 15 minutes or until vegetables and steak are tender. Turn off heat and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Replace the cover for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts. (I sprinkle cheese on each individual steak piece so that when served, each is visible as a serving).
