So-Tender Swiss Steak - A Favorite in our Family - You’ll Love the Taste, the Tenderness and Aroma!

[@suzanneleonard5485]

One of my absolute favorites! With mashed potatoes and a side of granny green beans, that's comfort food at it's finest! Have a wonderful blessed week!

[@wandajones5479]

What is granny green beans? 😊

[@kathymelcher5971]

I do believe your cooking tutorials is just what every new cook needs to learn how to make good old fashioned favorites. I love your videos.

[@tomwyant9297]

Thank you, @@kathymelcher5971. We appreciate that.

[@wandagilbert5385]

Must make this soon. It just sounds Soo good!!

Me too, he's a great teacher. He reminds me of my Daddy. He taught school for about 7 years before he went back to Auburn to get his Masters in engineering. His teaching style was reminiscent of yours.

[@janethowe8812]

I am so happy to see your recipe. I'm 70 years old. My mom used to make Swiss steak with gravy when I was a kid. I couldn't find her recipe since she hadn't made it since I was about 10 years old. She used round steak as well. None of this modern hamburger patties I see used in new recipes for Swiss steak. Lol. Round steak was always cheaper and this was always a great way to have round steak tender enough to eat it. I think she had a slightly different technique, as I remember her cooking it all in a big pan on stovetop. But it still simmered for a long time. I can't wait to try this. Brings back memories of my Italian mom, who passed away 3 years ago. I love your explanations and running commentary, as I think its a great way to teach and encourage young cooks.

[@macycharmin]

My mom made her's like your mom did (back in the 70's). She passed away 3 yrs ago as well. Lord do I miss her; I think of all the meals she cooked for our family often and make them here and there. I agree; their videos sure help young cooks with the great instructions!

[@michaelwallen6607]

I’m the same age as you, and I remember my mom making this in a huge Paul Revere pan on top of the stove. I remember what she put in it, but not the quantity. Now I have a recipe written from the author’s, and my memories will come back of her. But I didn’t like having to watch Ted Mack’s amateur hour, or Mitch Miller sing along show. A fair trade off for good food!

[@myprius22]

Tom & Melissa… I fixed your “oh so tender Swiss steak” for dinner and we just finished eating. Oh my, you weren’t kidding!!! Sooo tender! I fixed mashed potatoes and peas with ours. My husband loved it! Thank you for sharing this and so many other delicious recipes! Thanks also for sharing your love for the Lord and His church. Have a wonderful week! ❤

[@angelpie9530]

I haven’t had Swiss Steak since long before my mother passed away. Her version had tomatoes in it. Absolutely delicious. Miss it, but not as much as I miss her. ❤

[@dandraducharme72]

My Mom used to make it with the stewed tomatoes with onion and celery. I love it both ways. Hard to beat!!

[@ceceliaclifford621]

My mom made it with steak onions and squished up whole homecanned tomatoes or crushed tomatoes, with lots of black pepper.

[@LindaSueWalrath]

SWISS STEAK !!! A GREAT WAY TO SHOW YOUR FAMILY HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM !!!! THANKS FOR YOUR RECIPE ♡♡♡♡

[@TexasBlueBonnet61]

That was Swiss Steak in our family, too. Stewed tomatoes, onions and green bell pepper in the braising liquid. Flour was pounded into the steak pieces, before frying. It was my dad's favorite way to eat round steak.

[@marilynatkinson3735]

My mom used tomatoes too ❤

[@lorettataylor3374]

I just joined you about a month ago. Your style of cooking is just what I’ve been looking for. The way that you present your recipes is so clear and precise. I’m a baby boomer and been cooking for years but I sure enjoy new recipes and simple ingredients. Sharing with us is no easy task. I’m sure KZbin is a lot of work. So thank you for what you do. ❤

[@cindymcdonald4302]

My mom taught me how to make this when I was a teenager. She called it poor man's meal, because it would feed me my brother and her and still have leftovers for her to take to work the next day. She would have the steak tenderizer at the butcher. When it was done we had mashed potatoes and green beans and biscuits to sop up the gravy. I made it for my husband on our first date and he fell in love with it. He said that was when I fixed that he knew I was a keeper.

[@vickiestephens8889]

Yummy.

[@JanieMcfadden-b7z]

EVERYTHING they make is delicious!!!

[@jeannettethorsby7085]

Oh wow! Looks delicious 😋. I'm a single lady, so I love to cook once, freeze, then warm it when ready to eat. Nothing compares to a home cooked meal. Definitely trying this recipe 🙂🦋

[@margewilson8653]

Hi Tom…. I could not wait to tell you that I made this Swiss Steak tonight and it was so delicious. I had not even thought about Swiss Steak since I was a kid. I have never made it before myself but I can tell you that I will be making it again. I love watching you and your wife and I have made a lot of your recipes. Keep the oldie but goodies coming. Thank you.

[@arizonny]

And tomatoes.

[@DeborahBrown-tj7wx]

Love Swiss steak! Louisville, Ky here. We had this often growing up but Mom always included stewed tomatoes in ours. I make it myself sometimes, but I like to eat over white rice. Growing up we usually had mashed potatoes with it and probably green beans from Daddy's garden. Mom cooked hers in an electric skillet on low for a couple hours. She loved her electric skillet and used it often.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We have an electric skillet, but we've never made this recipe in it. Sounds like a great option. Thank you very much for watching our channel. It's nice having you at the table with us.

My stomach is growling for some of that comfort food which looks so scrumptious!!! Thanks Tom and Melissa, enjoy your dinner and God bless you both! ❤

[@pamelasmith1757]

We would use the dredging flour to make the gravy so it would not go in the garbage or to waste

[@conneelandersmccasland2146]

This is EXACTLY how I learned from my mom. It has been a favorite my whole life! Thanks for the great memory 😊

[@pammaloy1773]

Oh my gosh! I just fixed this last night. My mom always fixed it with a tomato gravy. I did mine in the instant pot for the first time. It turned out tender and delicious. I love your channel.

[@karleedu]

I've never had a tender swiss steak, so I might give this a try.

[@carmelscott1706]

That looks so delicious. I always use round steaks to make a dish we call 8 hour steak. You simply take 2 round steaks, place them in a 9"x 13" pan. Pour 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and 1 pkg. of Lipton onion soup mix on them. Cover with foil and place in a 200 degree F. oven for 6 to 8 hours. The soup makes a delicious gravy and I also serve it with mashed and corn. Too funny!

[@earldouglas3631]

We call that No Peek Stew.

[@TexasBlueBonnet61]

I cook round steaks in my casserole crock-pot like that. I do sear the steaks first, but no flour. Just a quick sear on each side then into the crockpot (it's the shallow 9" x 13" rectangular one). Add the soups, cover and cook on low all day long. It's just Crock-Pot Steak in Mushroom Gravy at our house.

[@TammyKelley-b8d]

Swiss steak is one of our family's favorite dishes!! My Grandparents made it. My Mom made it, and now I carry on the tradition! The children in our family who didn't have the opportunity to know their Great-grandparents or Great, great Grandparents, get to know them thru this dish. I love sharing stories of my Grandparents and my Mom with the younger kids. It allows them a connection with some of the best people in our family. When we need comfort food, I make Swiss steak. We make ours a little different. We use tomato juice as the broth and gravy. My son used to call his plate "Swiss steak with volcano potatoes." LOL. We also serve with corn and a salad with oil and vinegar dressing. Thank you for the video and walk down memory lane. I needed it today.

[@triciatierney3276]

My grandma always put in a can of diced tomatos and some diced green pepper.

[@gotbordercollies]

Another winner of a recipe 🙂🙃🙂🙃 and a technique lesson all in one - Thanks

[@christistanton4085]

My mom always made Swiss steak but it was different a bit. But, it was just as tender and delicious! Dredge and fry it up the same. But she would cut onion, peppers and carrots and would mix beef broth with pan juices from frying meat as well as a big can of diced Italian tomatoes over the meat and cover and bake. The flour from steak would thicken everything perfectly and would have it with rice or mashed potatoes. Now I need to make some Swiss steak! Yummy either way to me!

[@lazyldy]

I have never had Swiss steak that didn't have tomatoes in it. My mother, grandmother, and I have always used the same recipe as your mother and it is wonderful.

[@christistanton4085]

It is....I'm sure this other version is good too. Just different.

[@debracowan2346]

I have the same recipe with the exception of using tenderized round steak. Yummy!

I got my round steak today to make this! My granddaughter is having surgery, and it will be perfect to take to her and her family to help out. I think the kiddos will love it, too. Her husband is an extremely picky eater, but I don't see any reason whatsoever that he wouldn't like this!

I startedaking this 45 years ago when Corelle was popular. It's those dishes that make it so tender. I still use them. They will make any meat cut with a fork.

[@readytogo3186]

This looks delicious! I have a similar recipe. When I first started working, many people swapped recipes and Swiss steak was one of them. There used to be a steak you could buy called Swiss steak. Haven't seen it in years, but round steak works as well. Just mix an envelope of Lipton dry onion soup mix with a can of Campbells cream of mushroom soup + 1 can water, cut the steak up into serving-size pieces, put all this in the Corelle dish and bake for 2.5 hours at 325 F or until steak is tender. (The mushroom soup, water and dry onion soup mix make a delicious gravy.) Not necessary to fry before baking. It is wonderful! I've made this for the last 50+ years! Of course, serve with mashed potatoes, corn (or vegetable of your choice) and rolls. Try is sometimes. It's wonderful.

Round steak is tough pound the seasoned flour in with the edge of a saucer and cook in the crock pot 4 hrs on high

Steak and gravey was my favorite meal as a kid. And still is my favorite as an adult. Mom always browned off the Steak in an iron skillet. Then made gravey from the dripings. Add the Steak back and simmered on low for several hours. It cut like soft butter. The only thing I do different now. Is I use a slow cooker to simmer it in. I even still pour the gravey over a slice of bread.

Put newspaper under it to help with spill over and clean up. Use your frying pan to make the gravy. All the fond is there, all the flavors! Now serve in the baking dish or frying pan. (Put the frying pan in the fridge while cooking the meat, reducing bacterial growth.). Add the excess flour to make the gravy! No waist easy clean up!
