Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Take a cast iron pan and set over medium-high heat. Add a 2-count of olive oil and add rosemary and thyme. The herbs will begin to crackle as the oil heats up and the oil will be infused with the flavor. Remove the herbs from the pan and place onto a paper towel lined plate. Season the rib eyes well with salt and pepper and add to pan and brown for approximately 4 minutes. Turn the rib eye over and place the whole pan into the preheated oven, on the bottom shelf, for another 12 minutes for medium-rare. Add another 2 minutes for medium.
- Place a saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic, thyme and rosemary leaves, and the panko and stir to combine. Once the bread crumbs are toasted, season with salt and pepper.
- Place a saucepan of cream with bay leaves, rosemary, thyme and garlic over medium heat and simmer until reduced and thick. Blanch leaves in some salted boiling water until wilted. Remove the Swiss chard from the water and allow it to drain in a strainer. Push any excess water out of the Swiss chard using some paper towels. Set aside to dry at room temperature.
- When ready, remove herbs and garlic from cream and fold in the Swiss chard. Add Parmesan, to taste, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once steaks are done, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve on a plate and top steak with creamed Swiss chard. Garnish with the toasted bread crumbs, lemon juice, and season with salt.

Tips:
- Use high-quality beef. Chuck roast is the traditional cut of beef used for Swiss steak, but you can also use other cuts, such as round steak or flank steak.
- Tenderize the beef. Pounding the beef with a meat mallet or rolling pin helps to break down the connective tissue and make it more tender.
- Marinate the beef. Marinating the beef in a mixture of vinegar, oil, and spices helps to flavor it and make it more tender.
- Cook the beef slowly. Swiss steak is a braised dish, which means it is cooked slowly in a covered pot with a small amount of liquid. This helps to break down the connective tissue and make the beef tender.
- Use a good quality Swiss cheese. Emmentaler or Gruyère are both good choices for making Swiss steak.
- Serve the Swiss steak with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or spätzle.
