Rick's Swiss Steak

Rick's Swiss Steak

My brother Rick has this recipe for Swiss Steak that is ridiculously good.  In fact... so good, that I tend to eat it until I'm sick every time.  Literally. It's not really funny, but I honest eat too much and get kind of sick.  Here we go:

INGREDIENTS
1-2 lbs of 7 blade chuck steak - Cheapest cut of meat you can get basically.
1 Large Onion
1 Tablespoon of Minced Garlic (fresh or the stuff from a jar)
Flour
Ground Pepper
Season All Season Salt
Worcestershire Sauce
Tabasco Sauce
Kitchen Bouquet Gravy Mix (1 Cap full)
Bouquet Garni
1 8 oz can of tomatoes
1 can of Mushrooms or a package of Mushrooms
2 Cans of Beef Broth
1 Cup of Burgundy Wine
1/2 pound of Butter

Mix some flour (1/2 cup to a full cup) with loads of ground pepper and seasoned salt).  Till the color of the flour is almost orange..  Then, on a wooden surface, with a mallet, pound the hell out of the meat, beating in the flour mixture.  Flatten that meat out.

When you are done, brown the meet in 1/2 inch deep melted butter.  Lots of butter.  Remove the meat.

Then add Onions and Garlic and cook for 5-10 minutes. You might have to add more butter here.  Then add the mushrooms, and Bouquet Garni.  Cook till onions are clear.

Then add the meat back into the mixture along with the 2 cans of beef broth, the can of tomatoes, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, tobacco, Kitchen Bouquet Gravy Mix, Red wine, and simmer for 1 hour or more.  Season to taste if it's not already perfect, and add as splash of Burgundy just prior to serving.
