Making Old Fashion Swiss Steak:
This recipe comes together with just a few simple steps. You’ll start by seasoning and lightly coating the steak, then adding it to the slow cooker with a rich tomato-based sauce and onions.
Once everything is layered in, the slow cooker does all the work, cooking the beef low and slow until it’s perfectly tender and full of flavor.
By dinnertime, you’ll have a hearty, comforting meal ready to serve.
From My Kitchen:
This is one of those slow cooker dinners I come back to when I want something comforting without a lot of effort.
I love getting it started earlier in the day and letting it do all the work while we go about our day.

It brings me right back to Sunday dinners growing up. My mom used to make this, and now I love making it for my family. We keep it simple and I serve it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it’s always such a comforting meal.

Ingredient Notes:
- Beef Round Steak – cut into 4 or 5 pieces.
- Flour
- Salt and Pepper – use more or less to taste.
- White Onion – that has been sliced.
- Petite Diced Tomatoes – I used canned tomatoes.
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Garlic Cloves – that has been minced.

Directions:
Step One – Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
Coat each steak in flour then set aside.
Recipe Tip
You flour the steak to give it a better caramelization when cooking.

Step Two – Place onions in the slow cooker and top with flour coated steaks.

Step Three – Mix petite diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic.

Then pour the tomato and seasoning mixture over the steaks and onions in slow cooker.

Step Four – Cook on low for 6-7 hours or until steak is cooked and tender.

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.
