SWISS STEAK (PAULA DEEN)



Swiss Steak (Paula Deen) image

I saw Paula make this on one of her shows last week and it looked delicious! Well, I tried it and it is delicious, so I decided to post it. Note: The recipe calls for 1 round steak, it is necessary to have this steak cubed (tenderized) by the butcher. I used round steak, and pounded the life out of it, and it turned out fine, but I would recommend following Paula's suggestion and having the butcher do it!

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful cube steak, use a marinade. Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the steak over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcook the steak. Cube steak is a thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking the steak will make it tough and dry.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy are all classic accompaniments to cube steak.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Cube Steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the gravy is rich and creamy. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, and you'll have a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
