THE BEST!! SWISS STEAK

THE BEST!! SWISS STEAK

Swiss steak is tender and delicious. Interestingly enough, the dish is not Swiss. The process used to tenderize it is referred to as swissing. This means that it is pounded in order to tenderize it. I love swiss steak served up with a side order of mashed potatoes with the juices from the steak spooned over them. Watch the video and give this delicious dish a try.

WHAT IS SWISS STEAK?

Swiss steak is a method of slow-cooking a relatively tough cut of beef, such as a round steak. The meat is browned, and then braised in a tomato sauce.

According to The American Century Cookbook, recipes first starting showing up for Swiss steak in the 1930s. Reynolds Wrap Aluminum popularized it in the late 40s by promoting the recipe as a use for its foil. Their recipe had you line a roasting pan with foil and cook the steak in the oven. (Ours below is done on the stovetop.)

The “Swiss” in Swiss Steak has nothing to do with Switzerland, but refers to the process of tenderizing a tough cut of meat. The recipe below is my mother’s method for making Swiss Steak.
