Classic Swiss Steak with Tomato Sauce

Swiss steak is the technique of making economy beef behave: round steak dredged in seasoned flour, browned hard, then simmered with onion, green pepper and tomato juice until the flour thickens the juices into gravy and the meat relaxes completely. This crowd-scale version feeds a small hall — church-supper cooking in the best sense, with mashed potatoes assumed.
