Swiss steak, garlic green beans and jasmine rice

Tonight we are having Swiss steak with garlic green beans and Jasmine rice. The rice is Trader Joe's frozen Jasmine rice. I will post the recipe for the others and a pic later



Swiss Steak
INGREDIENTS:
4 beef cube steaks (4 ounces each)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 garlic cloved, minced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large non-stick skillet, brown the cube steaks on both sides in oil over medium-high heat (cook in batches if needed); remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute the onion, celery and galic for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce and bouillon. Return the steaks to the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 hours or until meat is tender.
2. Remove meat from skillet. Combine the cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into tomato mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Return meat to pan and cook another minute. Serve sauce over steak.

Garlic Green Beans
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS:
Place beans and enough water to cover in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered for 8-10 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender; drain. Toss beans with garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Serve immediately.
