Instant Pot – 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.
