Swiss Steak Recipe Directions Cut steak into serving size pieces. Trim off any excess fat. On a plate mix the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge steak into the flour. Heat the oil. Brown the steak well on both sides. Place browned meat into pot. Pour tomato sauce over the steak, add enough water if necessary to cover the steak. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer covered until meat is tender. Make a paste out of the cornstarch and water, stir into sauce to thicken. Serve up this swiss steak with your favorite kind of potato. Recipe Serves About: 4

Substitute, substitute, substitute. Recipes were made to be messed with. Use alternative ingredients to make your recipes healthier. Cook with broth (low-sodium vegetable, low-fat chicken or beef) instead of with oils. Use vinaigrettes or citrus-juice-based dressings instead of creamy ones, which are often full of saturated fat. Try olive oil, skim milk, or yogurt instead of butter or cream. Re-work dessert recipes that require heavy cream with evaporated skim milk or yogurt. For cakes and other desserts, substitute fresh-fruit puree as a topping instead of frosting. And one of my favorites: pancakes with applesauce, not maple syrup. These changes will give your favorite recipes great new flavor, and your food will be healthier!
