Ingredients
- round steak
- green peppers
- tomato sauce
- dried onions
- salt/pepper
This recipe is enough for three servings. It can easily be doubled for larger serving sizes.
Tomato sauce
Tomato sauce is the classic way to make this steak recipe. It is the way I only make it as I do love the flavors. However, if you would prefer, you can use half tomato sauce and half beef broth to add a more beef flavor.
The process
This dinner recipe is a "put everything in the crock pot and walk away" type of meal. The absolute best, in my opinion! Although, many recipes aren't cooked in a crock pot of course.
The steak, tomato sauce, green peppers and spices all come together in the crock pot. The crock pot will stay on high and cook the steak for 6 hours if the steak is frozen.
FAQ
Swiss steak can be served over rice, noodles or over mashed potatoes. It is also great on a crusty roll.
I really don't recommend using sweet peppers as the green peppers add the flavors needed to bring the recipe to life.
Yes! Just be sure to cook the steak completely. The meat should have an internal temperature of 145 degrees to be done. The meat should fall apart while shredded.
Leftovers
To store leftovers, after eating, place the leftover steak in an airtight container for up to three days.
