⭐ Why You’ll Love This Swiss Steak Recipe

  • 🕒 Set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker method

  • 🥔 Pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles
  • ✅ Easy, family-friendly, and freezer-friendly

🧾 Ingredients

  • 2 lbs cube steak or round steak, tenderized
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Steak

Pat steaks dry and dredge lightly in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.

2. Brown the Meat (optional but recommended)

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown steaks on both sides (about 2–3 minutes per side). This adds depth of flavor.

3. Add to Slow Cooker

Layer browned steaks in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with sliced onions, peppers, and garlic.

4. Make the Sauce

In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, beef broth, and paprika. Pour over the beef and veggies.

5. Slow Cook

Cover and cook on:

  • Low for 7–8 hours or
  • High for 4–5 hours, until the beef is tender and the sauce is rich and thick.

6. Serve

Serve hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or steamed rice. Spoon sauce generously on top.

  • 🥔 Mashed potatoes – the classic pairing
  • 🍝 Egg noodles – soak up that savory tomato gravy
  • 🍚 Steamed rice – easy and budget-friendly
  • 🥦 Add a side of green beans or buttered carrots

  • 🧊 Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container
  • ❄️ Freeze cooled leftovers for up to 3 months
  • 🔥 Reheat in microwave or on stovetop with a splash of broth to loosen the sauce
  • 🕒 Great for meal prep—flavors get even better the next day!

💡 Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Swiss Steak
