Swiss Steak | Amy Roloff's Little Kitchen

I grew up having Swiss steak for dinner. It brings back fond memories. Taking a tough cut of meat, making it tender and then immersing it in a with a nice hearty tomato and beef sauce was always good and fulfilling. Here is my version of this classic old school recipe. I hope you give it a try.

Love Amy and Chris. Their a great couple. Chris is such a breath of fresh air. You deserved so much better and you found each other. Your both so delightful.

[@seekinghim239]

I love me some Amy! She's always been a bright light for her kids, family and the earth!

[@roxybuell9898]

So Very True !!! Just a JOY !!! 😊

[@jonijohnston1688]

I agree 👍 with you...I love Amy's new chapter... I also found my happiness at 44 , and I had given up on love...Never lose faith 💕 Amy and Chris are blessed and I am so happy for both of them!

[@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607]

Probably one of the healthiest couples from reality tv ❤

[@nikkicastelline]

AMY and Chris, I adore you! ❤️ I have been watching LPBW since day 1. I, too, have twins the same age as Zach and Jeremy. I am so glad to have found your little kitchen cooking. By the way, I lived in Aloha, Oregon, when my twins were born. We were neighbors!

[@sandypolsky5683]

I grew up in the Midwest and my Mom made Swiss Steak frequently and it was always a tomato based sauce, actually like stewed tomatoes on top in a tomato based broth, too. And, with mashed potatoes, too. Delicious and memories! Thank you, Amy.

[@thedesertmisfit]

Oh my, Dear Amy looks lighter, brighter, happier, smile-ier than ever. I always saw her as so stern on the other show, soooo glad I found this channel yesterday!!!

[@tonyz6421]

Yea always the witch. That poor Chris ..itll never last.

[@Southernsoul2234]

Very stern. Came off as rude.

[@MotivationStation83]

You are right. That just goes to show that she is finally happy and I love that for her. Her husband really makes her happy! Go Amy🎉🎉🎉

[@cynthiasuzanne]

This is great! It’s so fun watching Amy just being herself in the kitchen. Kinda like being right there chatting with her as she cooks. This was part of my family’s recipe collection when I was growing up as well. Midwestern cooking at its finest!

[@AmyRoloffsLittleKitchen]

Love Midwest cooking, like you said, it reminds me of home

[@teebabi3077]

Amy you and Chris are so adorable! You really are a ray of sunshine. You put a smile on my face each time I see you be it here or on your show. Thank you for being so awesome and your hubby is BOMB!! Love you both! Tee

[@theoceandragonfly]

Wonderful, Amy. It's so great to see you happy and enjoying cooking.

[@donnagribbins1763]

I am in KY. When I make Swiss Steak I add tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, fresh cremini Mushrooms, garlic and I use either a round steak or a sirloin tip steak. I braise mine like you did either in the oven or crock pot. I usually serve ours with baked potatoes. I like to put the tomato sauce and vegetables over top the potatoes instead of using butter or sour cream.

[@AmyRoloffsLittleKitchen]

Sounds amazing

[@vickie9107]

I’ve watched you on LPBW and just recently found your cooking channel. Happy me! I love how you keep it real and aren’t afraid of making a mistake. I think my family would love this recipe and plan to make it this coming week. Love you Amy and so happy that you and Chris found each other. You look so happy and he looks like a man who loves his wife. Thanks for sharing with us. 💛 Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@AmyRoloffsLittleKitchen]

Thanks Vicki I appreciate it

[@dynamite9143]

Amy you are a hard working dynamo! Thanks for this recipe! My mom made it a lot and I had forgotten about it. Love watching you!

[@arlynruby1843]

I havent had this in years , so glad I came across this video ,Also this is the only way I know of how my Mom made it . Thank you

[@estherhopcroft8880]

I grew up in Missouri and we had Swiss Steak just like you’re preparing it. Delish over mashed potatoes. Haven’t made it in years, but it’s going on my menu soon. Thanks Amy!!

[@seekinghim239]

I got lost on my comments and to rectify them, but I think Amy is such a beautiful spirit that she helps everyone in her life. I wanna apologize if I said that others will use her platform and notoriety for their own gain. She is so sweet and have such a beautiful spirit that she's willing to bring others along with her, no matter what!

[@aprilmurphy7231]

We always made swiss steak with the tomato base sauce as well. Never heard of swiss steak in a white sauce but I am sure It must have been delish! It looks fantastic!

[@sheilaplowman4912]

Chris talks about the cream soup his grandma used. I grew up in Northern Illinois. I use basically the same recipe but with 2 tweaks. When I tenderize the meat, I pound seasoned flour into it to help with the thickening. Also when I make the sauce, I add 1 can of either golden mushrooms or beefy mushroom soup. It makes a richer sauce withe the tomatoes and veggies. So good.

[@mariajones827]

Looks so good I will have to try it!!! Love watching your videos it's like watching family member cook in their kitchen!

[@jonijohnston1688]

I have 'one of those days' alot 🙄 can't open this or I forget that...I just love watching you cook and you inspire me... Like take today...it's raining here and I wasn't gonna make dinner, but now I looked in my freezer and I'm making dinner! Thank you for sharing your kitchen with us 🌹 Happy cooking everybody!

[@lpschick7237]

Amy I have always enjoyed watching you cook & provide for your family over the years. You remind me of my Mom when it came to having homemade supper every night on the table. I remember asking my Mom for recipes after I got married. She would say I don’t know add a little of this & that. 🤣. It never turned out like hers. Can’t wait to see what’s next!! PS….I love you keep it real. Like Bob Ross said there are no mistakes just happy accidents.

[@roxybuell9898]

He was Awesome !!!

[@stephanievalencia2939]

My mom made Swiss steak when I was a kid. It was a red sauce and the steak was in strips with green bell peppers. Looks delish!!

[@marystrenke3050]

This is delightful! I watched LPBW for years. My son was having emergency surgery after a horrible car wreck when I watched the episode of Jacob's trebouchet accident. Amy's so happy! Awesome 😎

[@AmyRoloffsLittleKitchen]

I hope you're son is doing well now 🙏🏻

[@wendyneeb3426]

Chris, My mom’s Michigan Swiss steak was cream based also. This looks amazing though and I would definitely try it!

[@bethroberts674]

Brings me back to my childhood; made just like my paternal grandmothers. So delicious!

[@nursehoney24]

I cannot wait to try this recipe ❤ This one sure brings good memories, my mama has always made this for me & it’s always so so good, she serves it with mashed potatoes, glazed carrots & homemade biscuits every time, but I’ve actually never made it myself…….I might surprise my mamma & daddy Sunday dinner by serving this (ain’t gonna lie tho I’m very intimidated bc my mama is one fine cook lol)

[@lindacheever7954]

Looks delicious!! I will give this a try! Thank you for sharing, Amy!

[@TumbleWeedFarms]

Hey Amy! I've been watching you since the beginning of Little People Big World. I absolutely LOVE you and I am so happy I stumbled Appon You here!!!! So excited because I Really love your recipes!

[@karanharris6208]

This the kind of Swiss Steak I remember as a kid. It has a tomato base which I love. I have a friend who makes this without the tomato base and it's good too but this is a recipe I will make.

[@zcowan]

My mom used to make this when I was a kid and I had completely forgotten it existed. I’m a novice in the kitchen but will have to try and make this soon in her honor. She passed in 2017 but would be smiling if she could see me making it. Thanks, Amy. I love your cooking channel. You’re a breath of fresh air. All the best and happy holidays!

[@toddweierke9065]

My Grandma saved bacon grease in a can and cooked chicken and steak and pork chops with it. Everything she made was Awesome!! Amy cooks like down home cooking, and her meatloaf recipe is great.

[@brendarobbins-smith7848]

I absolutely love swiss steak. My mother made it and was so delicious. Now I fix it, but had to wing it the first time, because she didn't leave a recipe, which I don't use the majority of the time anyway. The only difference between yours and mine...I put a pinch of nutmeg in the sauce. Sounds crazy, but really works. I enjoyed watching this video very much!

[@dmotta2811]

I loved Swiss steak when I was a kid. We had it all the time. I am going to try to make your recipe, it looks so good😋

[@lorib3427]

I grew up on this! We used cubed steak which is the same cut but the store put it through some machine that did the same thing for tenderizing it. Michigan has so many different foods! Olive burgers are the best! Swiss Steak was always a Sunday dinner! Thanks Amy!

[@melissaboyter3493]

Thank you so much Amy for sharing your recipe. I can’t wait to fix this. I have never had Swiss steak I live in the south for some reason I’ve never had it, but it looks so delicious. Thanks again.

[@omadeitz3340]

I am happy to see you waited to add the garlic, if you sear garlic it turns bitter, sauteed garlic just lightly brings out the flavors. I am going to try this, i too grew up in a home that cooking was not my mothers forte.

[@mickidonahue4038]

My grandmother in Texas made it just like yours. So glad to find your recipe.

[@jerseyboyforever35]

omg this recipe is amazeing.. i made it for first time by following Amy as she was makeing it.. omg did it turn out so good.. My Family and I loved it... now it is like every sunday for dinner they want this... Great Job Amy...

[@kdarnell350]

Oh Amy, love watching you cook. You are so authentic and I love that things aren’t always perfect because that’s not the real world of cooking….or filming! Thank you for the honesty in your show. Oh, ya and the recipes!

[@deeashley780]

Amy thank you for this! We use to have this ever Sunday at my grandmother’s house. Sadly after she passed we couldn’t find her recipe my mom and all my aunties have tried to break the code,but none of them have figured out her recipe. I’m hoping yours will. Merry Christmas everyone!

[@Ginaperez-o9q]

I love all your recipes Amy.... I also love your personality you dont take anybodys crap....... Tough 🍪 Cookie..

[@laverndowsley8850]

By coincidence I made Swiss Steak this week. My grandma made it when I was a kid and I loved it. I searched the internet, found a recipe and it turned out quite well : ) I cooked mine in a crockpot.

[@nancyfasolino7607]

I must make this! It reminds me of my stew!! You cook very delicious! Layers of flavor ❤️

[@donnarock7842]

I LOVE my and Chris! I love the way you explain and prepare your recipes! This sounds and I imagine, tastes great!!

[@joannapalmer7516]

I have had swiss steak made with a white creamy mushroom sauce and one can of tomatoes added in before and it was very very good. I will have to try it like this and the version with just a white mushroom sauce too. Thanks for the great ideas.

[@judydwiggins3456]

My mother was from North Dakota (Norwegian) made Swiss steak with white sauce too. No tomato. It was delicious! I love it both ways.

Miss Amy I always struggle with those paper tops on spices. Just put a butter knife straight in middle and pop off. Your such a amazing cook. Love to watch and learn from you! Love Swiss steak it’s a comfort food for me. We are about the same age and that was on the menu at least once a month. Thanks for reminding me of the good ole days.❤

Amy, my mother always made Swiss steak for special meals. She used Golden Mushroom soup, plus a lot of vegetables.

[@LorrieLogan]

That recipe looked fabulous. I believe that would work with pork chops as well. Love it when Chris tucks in and gives his opinion. 🇨🇦

Looks delicious Amy! Last week my parents, hubby, and I were eating dinner and they mentioned LPBW. My parents are in their 70’s and not much into reality shows. They asked me if we watch LPBW & I said yes been watching since the very beginning. To my surprise they watch LPBW! I told them my favorite was Jackson and their favorite is Lila!

That looks great Amy! My mom used to. make this when I was growing up in California and it was always tomato based.

If she's like my mother. Fourty years later she'll say she never made that and she doesn't know what you were talking about. Lol I tried chicken bone broth once because I heard it was better tasting. I didn't like it at all. Went back to plain chicken broth. I'm the same way. I love comfort foods. I think I've had this before but only once. I can't wait to try making yours thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@marygallagher9996]

OMG Amy. LOVE the hair color/highlights-a bit of makeup…you nailed it!

[@rsoubiea]

I love swiss steak, i think my mom bought minute steaks back in the 60's. i love them cooked in stewed tomatoes (canned) i think the pickling spices in the can make it special. also served over mashed potatoes. its like one of my fave comfort foods, up there with meat loaf and stew. my mom specializes in depression era dinners, thats what I grew up on. ❤

[@rachaelk8358]

This looks delicious. I can’t wait to make it.

[@theresaporto9752]

Growing up in Wisconsin my mother started the same way you did with the seasoned flour but then it ended up with a brown gravy. After putting it in the oven she would uncover at the end and it would get a delicious brown gravy. She may have used some beef boullion as well. I really want to make this now... My mother also used round stake...

[@marykayejenrich7845]

Hi Amy I’m new to your channel which I’m enjoying, but not new to the Roloffs Loved watching the shows through the years and watching your kid’s grow

[@america1403]

Your grocery store meat counter will run the Swiss steak thru their meat tenderize for you even if u purchased it prepackaged, they will open it up and it takes literally 5 seconds to run it thru the electric tenderizer. It will make it much more tender than beating it with the meat malet.

The swiss steaks I had, they were placed in flour then fried, then put in a pan with water, sprinkled with beef onion mix and cream of mushroom on top. Then foiled up and baked, I never had them done the way there being done here.

[@Lala-4597]

I grew up eating swiss steak too. Gonna use your recipe and make it now.

[@marilynkozlow8400]

I have only had Swiss steak in the tomato sauced base. My mom used to do her pork chops in a cream of mushroom sauce. Both are great over mashed potatoes. 😊

[@Alpenglow2024]

So I'm making your dish tonight. Yay! However, the recipe vs. video has a few discrepancies. The recipe leaves out the rue and forgets to tell us to put a lid on the dinner before we bake it. I'm so glad I saw the video so I could improvise. No problem, I love all of your posts and I'm sure we will enjoy your Swiss steak recipe tonight! Thanks!
