Ingredients
-
1 1/2 pounds
Cube Steak
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
3 pieces
cloves garlic
-
1 teaspoon
thyme
-
2 tablespoons
tomato paste
-
1 tablespoon
all purpose flour
-
14 ounces
tomato puree
-
1 1/2 cups
chicken broth
-
1 cup
cherry tomato
-
1 piece
onion
Directions
-
Prepare the crock pot by spraying the liner with cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner.
-
If using boneless top-blade steaks, lightly pound steaks with the meat tenderizer. Cube steaks are sold already tenderized. Pat steaks dry with paper towels.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer the swiss steaks to the bottom of the slow cooker.
-
Turn the heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon oil and sliced onions to the pot. Saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and tomato paste, then sprinkle with flour. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomato puree and chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet.
-
Pour over the onion broth mixture and the steaks and top with cherry tomatoes. Add the lid to the crock pot.
-
Cook on low for 2-3 hours, until swiss steaks are tender. Skim fat from sauce, and pour over steaks before serving.
