MY GRANDMOTHER'S SWISS STEAK



My Grandmother's Swiss Steak image

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.

MOM'S SWISS STEAK DINNER

Comfort food all the way. I love swiss steak with fresh green beans, white rice and good crusty bread!!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs beef chuck steaks, 1-inch thick, trimmed
1 medium onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 small new potatoes, unpeeled and quartered
1 (9 ounce) package green beans, frozen, fresh

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425. Line 9 x 13 baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, leaving 1 1/2 inch overhang all around.
  • Cut steaks into equal portions and place in prepared pan. Top with sliced onions and bell peppers. (I always use more onion and bell peppers, personal preference).
  • Whisk together soup, tomatoes with juice, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl until well blended. Pour over steaks, onions and bell peppers.
  • Cover pan with large sheet of heavy duty foil; roll edges tightly with overhang to seal.
  • Bake at 425 for 45 minutes.
  • Add potatoes; reseal with foil. Bake additional 45 minutes.
  • Uncover pan; add green beans. Reseal.
  • Bake an additional 15 minutes or until beans are tender and steak is cooked through.
  • Stir well before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Swiss steak is traditionally made with round steak, but you can also use chuck steak or rump steak.
  • Pound the steak to tenderize it. This will help the steak cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Brown the steak in a skillet. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Cook the steak in a slow cooker. This is the easiest way to make Swiss steak, and it allows the flavors to develop over time.
  • Serve Swiss steak with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

Conclusion:

Swiss steak is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its tender beef, flavorful sauce, and hearty vegetables, Swiss steak is a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give Swiss steak a try!
