Can I use another cut of beef?

Yes, you definitely can use another cut of beef. Some other good cuts of beef would be these options.

Chuck Roast – I would leave this whole and then shred it once done.

Cube Steak – This is another very good and tasty cut of steak for the slow cooker.

Beef Stew Cuts – Beef Stew meat would be another great option for this meal.

How to store leftover Swiss Steak:

Store in a food safe storage container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

The acidity of the tomatoes will break down the meat some as it is stored, so you will want to eat it sooner than later.

Reheat in a skillet on the stove top or microwave.
