Rainy Afternoon, My Wife Had A Bad Day Meal

One of my wife's ultimate comfort foods is cocoa and toast. The other is mashed potatoes mixed with corn. Tonight, I made Swiss steak, mashed potatoes and corn just so she could mash hers all together.

Swiss Steak

1 lb. beef round steak, cut 3/4" thick
2 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper
1 tbsp. oil
15 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 small onion, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
1/2 tsp. thyme

Trim the steak and cut it in 4 pieces. Mix the flour, salt and pepper. Pound the flour into the steak. Heat oil in skillet. Brown steak in hot oil. Add tomatoes, onion, celery, carrot and thyme. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 1 hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half. It's good with noodles, too, but I like mashed potatoes best. You could also do rice.
