Swiss steak is a classic dish that can be found in many American households. Typically, the dish is made with a tough cut of beef like round steak that has been pounded and braised until tender in a tomato-based sauce with onions and green peppers. This recipe, however, uses a lean sirloin steak and tomato juice or stewed tomatoes to create a healthy and savory meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, Swiss steak is a comfort food that will warm you from the inside out.

1.	Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2.	Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
3.	In a large skillet, brown both sides of the steak over medium heat.
4.	Transfer the steak to a large baking dish.
5.	Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
6.	Pour the tomato juice or stewed tomatoes over the vegetables and stir to combine.
7.	Pour the sauce over the steak and cover the dish tightly with foil.
8.	Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the steak is tender.
