Swiss Steak Crock Pot Recipe

Crockpot Swiss steak is one of those rich, hearty, meaty dinner recipes that has stood the test of time!

Tender beef steaks are cooked in a rich tomato brown gravy with veggies. This recipe is perfect over mashed potatoes or egg noodles!

Savory Beef Steaks

• 'Swissed' means to roll or pound the meat, tenderizing it so it cooks up tender just like the veggies!
• This version of swiss steaks cooks in the slow cooker for the perfect set it and forget it meal.
• Much like the beef in a stew recipe, these steaks become fork tender by cooking low and slow.
• This recipe freezes and reheats well.

Ingredients for Crock Pot Swiss Steak

MEAT: Traditionally, Swiss steak comes from inside round or cube steaks. These cuts become tender when cooked low and slow.

VEGGIES: Use veggies like onions, peppers, carrots, and celery.

Add in mushrooms, green beans, or fresh green peas if you'd like.

SAUCE: Diced or crushed tomatoes and beef broth are paired with flavorful ingredients to make a thick tomato gravy.

Add diced canned tomatoes to this sauce or crushed tomatoes for a smoother sauce. If you prefer extra sauce, you can add extra tomatoes.

1. Place veggies & garlic in a slow cooker (per the full recipe below).
2. Pound steaks & lightly coat them in flour.

3. Brown them in a skillet and place them in the crockpot.

• Add sliced carrots, celery, onion, & garlic to the bottom of a slow cooker.

• Pound steaks with a meat tenderizer to ¼ inch thickness and season with salt and pepper (cube steaks do not need to be pounded). Put flour in a shallow dish or plate and dredge each steak in the flour mixture.

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown steaks on both sides, about 2 minutes per side adding more oil if needed.

• In the same pan, add wine and scrape up any brown bits. Add to the slow cooker with remaining ingredients except for the cornstarch.

• Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high or until steaks are fork tender.

• Serve over mashed potatoes or noodles.

For a smoother sauce, swap out the diced tomatoes for crushed tomatoes or even canned tomato soup.

For extra sauce, an additional can of tomatoes can be added.

Optional: To thicken the sauce, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Bring the sauce to a simmer on the stove and add a little at a time to thicken.
