Swiss Steak

1 inch slice of swiss steak or top round
1 can V-8 juice
1-2 Tbsp. honey
pepper to taste

Brown steak in hot skillet on both sides in olive oil. Remove steak from skillet and add 1 can of V-8 juice, honey and pepper. Heat until hot and the steak leavings are mixed into sauce. Place the steak in a dutch oven with lid. Pour on sauce, cover and place in oven at 375 F. Bake for 3 hours and then uncover. Bake another hour or until sauce is cooked down and thick. Meat should be fork tender. The sauce is wonderful over sautéed zucchini, summer squash, and onions.
