Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak. This easy slow cooker Swiss steak uses just 4 things from your kitchen. It’s like a yummy dinner Grandma made. You put raw steak in, add stewed tomatoes and two more items, and let it cook slow. The meat gets soft, tomatoes make thick gravy, and it vanishes quick on busy nights.

Make tender Swiss steak in your slow cooker with only 4 simple items: round steak, salt, pepper, and canned stewed tomatoes. No fuss—just layer, season, pour, and cook low and slow. Tomatoes turn into rich gravy. Perfect for weeknights, served over mashed potatoes or rice with veggies on the side. Family favorite!

Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 to 2½ pounds beef round steak, about ¾-inch thick

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) stewed tomatoes, undrained

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak: Directions

1. Cut off big fat bits from the round steak. Chop it into 4 to 6 pieces that fit your slow cooker.

2. Put the raw steak pieces flat (or a bit over each other) in the bottom of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.

3. Shake salt and black pepper all over the top of the steak. This gives it that old-time tasty flavor.

4. Open the tomato cans. Stir them quick with a spoon to smash big lumps if you want smooth gravy.

5. Pour the tomatoes and all their juice over the steak. Make sure meat is mostly covered. Tomatoes will make yummy gravy as they cook.

6. Put the lid on. Cook on LOW 7 to 8 hours, or HIGH 3½ to 4 hours, until steak is super soft and cuts easy with a fork.

7. Taste the gravy. Add a little more salt or pepper if your family likes.

8. Serve hot steak with lots of gravy on mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.

Serve over soft mashed potatoes, buttery noodles, or rice to soak up gravy. Add green beans, salad, or broccoli. Use rolls or bread to scoop sauce. End with pudding or fruit for old-style fun.
