Juicy Foil-Wrapped Swiss Steak: A Flavorful Oven Delight! 🍽️

Swiss Steak in Foil Recipe

Overview:

Swiss Steak in Foil is a delightful dish passed down from my mother-in-law’s recipe collection. It’s a versatile recipe that can be made with either beef or venison round steaks, making it perfect for those who enjoy wild game or are simply looking for a hearty and flavorful meal. The steaks are enveloped in a savory sauce mixture, creating a tender and succulent dish that pairs wonderfully with creamy mashed potatoes and crisp green beans. With a prep time of just 10 minutes and a total cook time of around 1 hour, this recipe is a convenient option for busy weeknight dinners or leisurely weekend meals.

Ingredients:

• 2 round steaks (beef or venison)
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). While the oven is heating, tear off a 5-foot length of aluminum foil and fold it double to create a sturdy cooking pouch.

2. Prepare the Sauce Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and flour until well blended. This mixture will form the base of the flavorful sauce for your Swiss Steak.

3. Assemble the Foil Packets: Spoon approximately one-third of the ketchup-flour mixture onto the center of the foil, spreading it slightly to create a bed for the steaks. Place one round steak on top of the sauce mixture.

4. Season the Steak: Season the steak generously with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor.

5. Layer with Onions: Cover the steak with the thinly sliced onion, ensuring that the slices are evenly distributed across the surface of the meat.

6. Finish with Sauce and Lemon Juice: Spoon the remaining ketchup-flour mixture over the onions, coating them evenly. Drizzle the lemon juice over the entire contents of the foil packet to add a refreshing citrusy note to the dish.

7. Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the foil over the steak and toppings, sealing all edges securely to create a tight seal that will lock in the flavors and juices during cooking.

8. Bake: Place the foil packets in a shallow baking pan to catch any drips or spills. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

9. Serve: Once cooked, carefully open the foil packets to release the aromatic steam and reveal the deliciously tender Swiss Steak inside. Serve hot, alongside creamy mashed potatoes and steamed green beans for a complete and satisfying meal.
