Simmered Swiss Steak

Simmered Swiss Steak

1/4 cup mashed potato flakes
1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound boneless beef round steak
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup beef broth

In a bowl, combine the potato flakes, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder and pepper; sprinkle over steak. Pound with a mallet to tenderize.

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown steak in oil on both sides. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, saute onion and remaining garlic powder until onion is tender. Return steak to the pan; add tomatoes and broth. Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender.
