Granny’s Swiss Steak

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 4 (4 ounce) cube steaks
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1 (6 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, undrained
• 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cups tomato juice
• 1 cup ketchup

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the cube steaks in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper, and brown them in the hot oil.

Arrange steaks in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the green pepper, onion, celery, mushrooms, oregano, and onion soup mix over the steaks. Stir together the tomato juice and ketchup; pour over everything in the dish.

Bake for about 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the meat is cooked through, and the sauce is thickened.
