Episode 2: The Battle of the Mushy Meat

========================
Meal Wars Swiss Steak Recipe
========================

1 Eye Round Roast or other tough cut of meat. (3-4 lbs)
1 onion chopped
1 garlic clove chopped
8 oz mushrooms
1 3/4 cups beef broth or stock
3/4 cup of red wine
2 tbsp neutral flavored cooking oil
2 cups of flour (gluten free works just as well as wheat flour)
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon dried thyme

Dry brine or salt the meat prior to cooking. Usually 12-24 hours in the refrigerator with salt on both sides will do the trick.

Beat the snot out of your tough steak until it cries out for mercy or until it is obviously a lot more tender than it was when you started.

Heat oil in a large skillet. Cover meat with flour and brown on both sides.

Instructions are basically the same for all cooking methods.

Place all ingredients in the pot.

If using an Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker, set the timer to 25 minutes or 30 minutes if doing a larger amount of meat.

If using a pot on the stove, you can set this to low heat and let it slowly simmer for 2-2.5 hours.

You can also place into a 300 degree oven for 2 hours.

Once cooked, separate your meat and place it aside, covered in foil.

Create a corn starch slurry by dissolving a heaping tbsp of corn starch in a half cup of water.

Add the corn starch mixture to the sauce while it is still on heat and stir.

The sauce should thicken very quickly and you are ready to serve.
