Recipe: Swiss Steak
Archived on 09/17/2009
Easy recipe and I like it because of the veggies added to it. If you don't want a veggie on the side, you don't have to have one. Kind of a one-dish meal, in a way.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs. beef
- 1 tsp. salt
- pepper
- 1/2 cup flour
- 3 Tbsp. fat or drippings
- 1 1/2 cups canned tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- chopped carrots
- green pepper
Directions:
Pound flour, salt and pepper into beef. Brown in an electric skillet or a large skillet on the stove. Add vegetables and cover. Simmer on low for 2 hours. Watch closely!

Recipe: Savory Swiss Steak
Archived on 07/06/2009
When making this recipe, my eldest daughter always tells me she hopes I'm making the GOOD swiss steak.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. dry mustard
- 1-1/2 pounds round steak cut 1-inch thick
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil or bacon drippings
- 1 (14.50-ounce) can diced tomatoes or stewed tomatoes
- 1 cup sliced onions
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 2 or 3 carrots, diced
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp. steak sauce
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, firmly packed
- Salt and ground black pepper
Directions
Mix flour with mustard. Sprinkle flour mixture over steak and pound it in with a cleated meat mallet. Cut the pounded steak into serving pieces. Heat oil in a wide, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add meat and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides. If you are baking meat, transfer it to a shallow baking pan. Add tomatoes and the liquid, onions, celery, carrots, Worchestershire sauce, steak sauce and sugar to meat in baking pan or frying pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cover and bake in a 350 degree F oven (or bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer) until meat is tender when pierced, about 1-1/2 hours.
Makes 4 Servings

Recipe: Swiss Steak
Archived on 06/10/2009
Ingredients
- 1 round steak
- 2 cups flour (can be whole wheat)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
- 2 Tablespoon shortening
- 1 (4 oz) can tomato sauce
- 1 sliced onion
- 1 sliced bell pepper
Directions
Cut meat into serving size portions. Combine dry ingredients in medium size bowl. Roll steak in flour mix till completely covered. Heat shortening in skillet till hot, add meat and brown on both sides, but don't over cook. Place meat on paper towels to drain. Drain shortening off as much as possible. Place meat back in frying pan with rest on ingredients, heat to high till steaming and then turn down and let simmer for 35-45 minutes.
Another way this is good, after browning the meat, lift meat to your crockpot and cover with remaining ingredients (can also use any garden veggies you have on hand such as fresh tomatoes quartered, fresh zucchini, fresh summer squash).
Good served with rice.

RE: Swiss Steak
Just curious, why do you need 2 cups of flour. Surely you won't use all that just to coat the meat. (02/22/2005)

RE: Swiss Steak
I lost my recipe for this and searched several sites for one. I got tired of waiting for them to download. I want to let you know that I was very impressed with the quickness your site loads and thanks for the recipe. Very much appreciated. Thank you. (10/06/2007)

RE: Swiss Steak
The amount of flour is probably just what to put into a bowl to dredge the meat in. The rest to be thrown out. I'm sure it isn't all needed. I always put a bunch in so there is enough, avoiding dirtying the flour canister with my messy hands. This sounds like a good recipe. (10/06/2007)

Request: Easy Swiss Steak
Archived on 07/06/2009
I am looking for a recipe that I have used many times and now I can't find it. It is for a no browning, easy, oven-baked Swiss steak. I know part of the recipe includes ketchup combined with Worcestershire sauce which you pour over the pieces of round steak in a baking pan. You can add chopped celery, onions and mushrooms. I believe that the recipe also calls for a little red cooking wine. I love this recipe as it's so easy to make and tastes like you slaved for hours. Does this ring a bell with anybody?

RE: Easy Swiss Steak
My Swiss steak is in the crock pot: round steak, salt/pepper, can of tomato sauce. I also add mushrooms
Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Thicken the sauce with a little flour and serve with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable. Yum! (04/13/2006)

RE: Easy Swiss Steak
Let me show my ignorance. Is Swiss steak the same thing as cube steak? What I call cube steak is a small thin piece of meat that looks like it has been hammered with a meat mallet.
Thanks
By austin95mom
Editor's Note: I've always used cube steak or pounded steak to make swiss steak so I'd say Yes, it is the same thing. (04/18/2006)

Request: Swiss Steak Seasoning Packet
Archived on 07/06/2009
Does anyone know how to make Swiss steak? My mom used to make it using a Swiss Steak seasoning packet that she bought at the grocery store. She said she has been looking for it in Texas, and can't find it. I can't find it here in California either.

RE: Swiss Steak Seasoning Packet
This is how we make it at my house. Season steaks in salt and pepper, coat in flour and brown in oiled Dutch Oven (or stockpot). Do not drain the drippings from the pan. Add one or two cans of cream of mushroom soup and a little bit of water. Bake at 350 degrees F for 2-3 hours. Yum! (10/23/2008)

RE: Swiss Steak Seasoning Packet
I don't have the seasoning packet recipe but I do have this one:
Crockpot recipe
- 1 can tomato soup
- 1 onion, chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 round steak
Place steak in crockpot (cut into pieces to fit if necessary), top with chopped onion, then pour soup over. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours. (10/23/2008)

RE: Swiss Steak Seasoning Packet
Go to amazon dot com and type in "Swiss steak seasoning packets" and there are three that come up. You can order from there if that's what you want. If not, do a google search on the seasoning and see what comes up. (10/23/2008)

Try looking for it in the spice aisle in the grocery store. They have boxes with seasoning packets for everything from gravy to cheese sauce to Swiss steak to Sloppy Joes. (10/23/2008)

RE: Swiss Steak Seasoning Packet
My mom made it too and I still do on occasion. We don't use a packet of seasoning. We just pound the meat out thin, then coat with salt, pepper, garlic, flour and fry until brown on both sides. Leave in the pan, cover with lots of sliced onions, put a lid on until the onions become clear, then immediately pour in enough hot water to cover onions and steak, turn down on really low heat and simmer for 2 hours. Hope this helped. (10/24/2008)

RE: Swiss Steak Seasoning Packet
I don't use seasoning or pound and flour the meat. Instead I use my roasting pan. I place the round stead in the pan with onions and two cans of diced tomatoes. Let cook for about an hour or more at 350 degrees till meat feels somewhat tender. I then add salt and pepper, for I read that salt in the beginning toughens the meat, then I add sliced carrots, cover and cook till carrots are done. Believe you me I don't have to call my children twice to eat when it is done. I also use the "gravy" to put over the mashed potatoes I make along with this meal.
Another variation is to add green pepper, onions, carrots and potatoes cut in wedges, this is refered to as Italian stew. (10/25/2008)

RE: Swiss Steak Seasoning Packet
CF Sauer makes a Swiss Steak Baking Bag (www.cfsauer.com). You would have to order it online because it is only sold on the East Coast, but since you and your mom can't find any in either state, it may be worth while. (01/19/2009)

RE: Swiss Steak Seasoning Packet
I contacted the company, can't remember if McCormick or Schilling, years ago and they no longer made the seasoning packet. (03/01/2009)
