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.
