Slow Cooker Swiss Steak
One of my favorite meals mom made when I was growing up was Swiss Steak. I just thought the rich sweet tomato taste of the sauce, along with all the onions was the best. She cooked it all day long in the crock pot or in the oven. The meat just fell apart. So after someone asked me for a recipe for Swiss Steak today, I decided I should just make it myself. I am so glad I did. It brought back such great memories. I think y’all are going to love this recipe as well.
Ingredients:
2 lbs Cube steak
2 Tsp salt
1 Tsp pepper
3/4 Cup all-purpose flour
1/4 Cup vegetable oil
1 Large onion, thinly sliced
2 Cloves Garlic
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 (14.5 oz) Can diced tomatoes
1 Tsp oregano
1 Tsp paprika
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 Cups beef broth
Heat oil in skillet on medium. Salt and pepper each side of steaks. Dredge cube steaks in flour and place in skillet. Cook about 2 mins. per side. Remove steaks and place in slow cooker.
Add onions to skillet and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Add tomato paste, oregano, and paprika. Stir to combine . Add diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Continue to stir. Carefully, add onion/tomato mixture to the slow cooker over the steaks and cook for about 4-6 hours on low.
Greg, I agree with you. I love swiss(ed)steak. Thanks for the recipe! All the best and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you as well
I made this last night….it was WONDERFUL!!! My husband never had swiss steak before. We both loved it! Very much reminded me of my Moms from when I was a little girl! 🙂
Connie, I am so glad you liked it. Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year.
I can’t wait to try this. I was a guest at a meal last evening and the host did not use a slow cooker so the meat was tough. Your recipe is more the way I remember it growing up.
Stephanie, I hope you like the recipe. I grew up on it. Let me know how it turns out.
Can I use fresh tomatoes as well? I’ve got an abundance from the garden
