Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour mixture. Tenderize the meat using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge the slices on both sides once more and set aside.
- Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
- Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.
EASY AND QUICK SWISS STEAK
This was my favorite growing up. I was amazed when I was older and asked my mom for the recipe how EASY it is! A small amount of prep. time, a day in the slow cooker, and you'll be amazed! It sounds too simple to be good... TRUST me! This gets RAVE reviews when we make it! The amount of vegetables is only an estimate. Use as many or as few as you choose. When it's done, you will have a yummy gravy, and will have to carefully dig for the steak pieces.

SLOW COOKER SWISS STEAK
I threw this together in my crock pot one day and we loved it! A little time consuming because I sauteed the vegetables and browned the meat first, but it's well worth it. Browning the meat first gives it a better flavor. This is great with mashed potatoes!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Swiss steak is traditionally made with round steak, but you can also use chuck roast or flank steak. Look for a cut that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling.
- Tenderize the meat. Pounding the meat with a meat mallet or using a fork to poke holes in it will help to tenderize it and make it more flavorful.
- Brown the meat before cooking. Browning the meat in a hot skillet will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice crust.
- Use a good quality Swiss cheese. The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a Swiss cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
- Cook the steak slowly. Swiss steak is best cooked slowly over low heat. This will allow the meat to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides. Swiss steak is typically served with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or spätzle. You can also serve it with roasted vegetables or a salad.
Conclusion:
Swiss steak is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make a delicious Swiss steak that your family and friends will love.
