Indeed! My recipe for Swiss Steak calls for nothing more than cut portions
of round steak dredged in seasoned flour. Brown the floured beef in a tiny
bit of oil then add beef stock or broth, minced onion and garlic, maybe a
little thyme. Sure, add sliced fresh mushrooms if desired. Cover and
simmer for a couple of hours on low heat on the stove top until the beef is
tender. Thicken the gravy with a slurry of cornstarch and serve with mashed
potatoes
