SWISS STEAK
An old family favorite salvaged from our 30-plus-year-old cookbook. We like this served over egg noodles. I like to increase the tomatoes to a 15 ½-ounce can, and I use a full green pepper and add a teaspoon of paprika.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality beef chuck steak. Look for meat that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
- Be sure to brown the beef well before braising it. This will help develop flavor and color.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the beef. If you do, the meat will steam instead of brown.
- Use a good quality dry red wine for braising the beef. A full-bodied wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth of flavor to the dish.
- Don't boil the braising liquid. Keep it at a gentle simmer so that the beef cooks slowly and evenly.
- Be patient! Swiss steak takes time to cook, but it's worth the wait. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will become.
Conclusion:
Swiss steak is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its tender beef, flavorful gravy, and hearty vegetables, it's a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give Swiss steak a try. You won't be disappointed!
