MY GRANDMOTHER'S SWISS STEAK
There are a lot of swiss steak recipes here, but all of them have a lot of "stuff" in it. My grandfather was a very picky eater, and this is the way my grandmother made swiss steak. Granddaddy loved it, and we all did, too. In fact, my sister always wanted Swiss Steak for her birthday dinner. The gravy is best on mashed potatoes, but it's not too shabby over rice, either. This is not fancy, but it sure is good! My grandmother used her home-canned tomatoes in this, but it's almost as good with store-bought.

Steps:

- Brown steaks on both sides in hot oil. Remove from skillet and place in oven-safe dish. (I use a 9 x 13 pyrex dish.).
- Add onions to skillet and saute until they start to brown around the edges. Pour in tomatoes and stir to loosen browned bits on bottom of skillet.
- Pour tomato mixture over steaks. Cover (I use foil) and bake at 350 for an hour or till meat is very tender.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Swiss steak is traditionally made with a tough cut of beef, such as chuck roast or round steak. These cuts are less tender than more expensive cuts, but they become tender when cooked slowly in a liquid.
- Brown the beef before cooking. Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to seal in the juices.
- Use a flavorful liquid. The liquid you use to cook the Swiss steak will add flavor to the dish. Common choices include beef broth, water, tomato sauce, or a combination of these liquids.
- Add vegetables and herbs. Vegetables and herbs can add flavor and color to the Swiss steak. Common additions include onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and thyme.
- Cook the Swiss steak on low heat for a long time. Swiss steak is a slow-cooked dish that takes time to develop its flavor. Cook the steak on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
Conclusion:
Swiss steak is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and comforting meal on the table with minimal effort.
