I love swiss steaks! They remind me of the texture of Salisbury steak, in a way. However, unlike Salisbury steaks, swiss steaks are smothered in a tomato sauce instead of brown gravy. This is a really wholesome treat and tastes amazing. Even my brood of picky eaters enjoy chowing down on a piping hot pot of Swiss Steaks. What are some of your favorite go-to foods that the picky eaters in your life love to eat? Maybe mine will like them too! Let’s swap some picky eater recipes and make our lives a little bit easier, shall we?
Check out what my pals over at Cinnamon And Spice And Everything Nice had to say about this recipe and cream of coconut:
Recipes like this were made for the crockpot! And vice versa. It’s a magical invention. I’m making it a point to use mine more often in the hopes of inspiring you to do the same. You can also use a Dutch oven to slow roast them or cook stove top in a tightly covered pan on low heat for about 2 hours.
I’ve only made these delicious steaks in the slow cooker. Have nay of you ever tried a recipe like this in a Dutch oven? It sounds tasty!
Ingredients
1 can (14 ounce) Hunt’s petite diced tomatoes (double this if you like a lot of sauce)
1 teaspoon Heinz Worcestershire sauce
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon McCormick dried thyme
1 + 1/2 pounds round steaks
Morton sea salt and fresh black pepper
Gold Medal flour
Instructions
Crockpot Directions:
Mix tomatoes, Worcestershire, peppers, onion, garlic and thyme together in crock pot and season well with salt and pepper. Season each side of the steaks with salt and pepper and prick with a fork all over about an inch apart. {An optional step is to dredge the steaks with flour and sear in a frying pan with a tablespoon or two of oil over medium-high heat on each side.} Add to crock pot. Cook on high 4-5 hours or low 7-8. Serve with cooked rice, potatoes, or pasta.
Oven Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Follow the same directions above using a Dutch oven, roast about 2 hours until steak is tender and falling apart.

thank you for posting this. Have been looking for this recipe/
This was my aunt’s “go to” for Sunday dinner. She put it in the oven before church. When she got home all she had to do was cook the “sides”.
How many times do I have to do the download before I can actually print the recipe? Am I missing something??? I have installed it like 5 times, and it just disappears and I can’t get it back to print it.
You never have to download anything from our website in order to print a recipe. You might be clicking on an ad by accident. Just highlight the recipe with your mouse and then right-click and click on print 🙂
I have a tablet and I can’t print as well. However, I just takes picture of the recipe with my phone. I can then use this as I’m cooking. I can also look at the recipe when I’m at the store so I can get the ingredients I need. Good luck!

Ken,
Not everyone has the same rocket science capabilities that you have. Someone having problems printing the recipe probably doesn’t know how to copy and paste into email, either.
Would like info on recipe, 2 save
thank you, ken. i have a bachelor’s degree, and am a former assistant head nurse in a level one trauma center. although i may not be able to follow computer instructions, i have many other positive attributes – but will never be a rocket scientist. i wish you nothing but well.
Highlight the recipe, right click and copy. Then, in the lower left hand corner of your screen click “start.” Open “notebook” and paste the recipe, right click and hit “save as.” I simply titled it “swiss.steak” and hit “save.” You can print from there using the taskbar above. I have over 100 recipes saved this way and can go back and print any of them anytime.

I JUST WENT UP TO “fILE” HIT PRINT AND ZIP, HAD THE RECEIPE IN HAND.
That works on my Mac Lap Top. But some of the other methods don’t: left click on mouse, then right click does not bring up “print” ; I don’t have the print option from the “square box with arrow” on the upper right corner.
Hit or miss, learn how your own machine works.
If this site had a “print” link it would eliminate a lot of nasty commentary, almost every recipe.
I do a similar one with mushroom soup and a dash of kitchen bouquet. It is real good the other way is with Tomato Bisque soup and some diced tomatoes gives a whole different taste. I have done in a dutch oven also either way it works well.
I used to make this all the time when I was younger. Would brown the round steak in an electric skillet and then add the onions, diced tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce and let it cook all day in the electric skillet – gonna make some in crock pot soon – remember it as so good.
How can one recipe require so many ingredients?! I gave up half way through.
Thanks for letting us know, Elaine.
My mom made Swiss Steak as a treat for us but her recipe was much simpler. She would cut up the steak in strips, dredge in flour and then brown in oil or Crisco Shortening. She then put it all in a roasting pan and poured 2 or 3 big cans of Campbells Tomato Soup over it. One she would mix with water and one without. The amount of soup is dependent on the amount of meat and how much gravy you want. Lastly, she would chop 2 big onions into rings and laid them on top, covered and baked in the oven on 250 for about 4 hours. She used round steak ( there was 6 of us) and baked it slowly so that the meat became more tender. She would season it with salt, pepper and garlic powder. That was it. The flavor was incredible!! The onion in rings was very tender. The sauce would thicken due to the the flour on the meat. Additionally, she would make baked potatoes that we poured the steak and sauce over. I imagine, you can cook this in a crockpot as well.
Elaine, there are only 9 ingredients. Ignore all the small print in red at the top of the page. Just scroll down a little further.
Elaine, you must be reading incorrectly. LOL. This is the easiest recipe ever. I’ve been making this for years.
Actually, I thought this was one of the simpler recipes online. I substituted chopped sirloin for round steak and put together in no time.
My mom managed Meals-on-Wheels in Eastern Colorado and did most of the cooking in the late 70’s and 80’s and my sister and I delivered the meals in our town three times a week during our lunch hour and free periods. This recipe is very close to hers and was one my favorites. Glad to find it here and know it’s associated with someone else’s Meals on Wheels experience.
I would use stew meat (2 or more) lbs. & use my electric pressure cooker, so fast & so easy.
well, I made this last night and as I expected from looking at the ingredients list and the cook time, 7 hours on low, it tasted like pot roast, nothing like any steak I’ve ever eaten. I guess that would be ok for someone who likes pot roast.
My mom taught me two recipes when I was 12 so dinner would be started before she got home. Both were in the big 12″ cast iron skillet. One was pork chops – braised (also for chuck steaks) – and the other was swiss steak. very much like this recipe. I preferred the pork chops and/or chuck steaks. I wish I’d known how to cure the pan, because I washed it with soap and water after dinner. Big no-no.
Po-I only use the diced tomatoes in the swiss steak, never in pot roast or stew or chuck steak. I see it in recipes, but I don’t use it. Here’s a hint for quick stew prep: Brown the cheapest cut of meat (I still prefer chuck roast to a round roast) with flour and spices (love McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning). I only season one side of the roast because the seasonings are pretty bold. Then I put the roast into the crock pot and add the vegetables and stock, worcestershire sauce, and onion soup mix. When the roast is done, I pull it out to a cutting board and cut it up into into bite size pieces. It’s half as costly as buying stew beef. and add it into a dutch oven with the vegetables and gravy. You could cut it up when it’s raw, but it is easier when it is done.
When you say – add chhicken, pieces of swiss steak, etc., can tbey be frozen or do you have to thaw them?
The recipe my mom gave me is nothing like your recipe!!!! She would use heinz chili sauce. It is a very old recipe and it is so good….
Really like your recipes, but It’s annoying to find “brand names” attached to everyday ingredients in the recipes.
My mom made swiss steak when I was young with tomatoes,tomato juice .onion rings, round steak and peas and carrots then was served with mashed potatoes—LOVED it- one of my favorite meals; a comfort food from my childhood!!!
I made this yesterday and we both enjoyed it very much!!!!! I didn’t have thyme so I looked on the computer for a substitute; it was recommended to use basil or oregano. I like both of those spices so I used 1/2 tsp. of each. This a true comfort food at it’s best.
