One question we often get is how to prepare some of the less common cuts, for example the Round Steak. We loved this idea from one of our Texas Belles' customers and had to share!
Thank you to Dee from the Meatloaf and Melodrama blog and Instagram for writing this delicious recipe!
Easy Swiss Steak Recipe
Thin slices of round steak dredged in corn starch and simmered in a peppery tomato beef sauce until tender. This hearty dinner recipe is gluten free as is, if you use gluten-free corn starch. It's also relatively low carb. But you can serve it over egg noodles, rice or mashed potatoes or with a side of vegetables.

You can use flour instead of corn starch.
You can also reduce black pepper to 1/2 teaspoon for a milder flavor.
If you don't have beef stock, use 1 cup of water, instead.
