Pineapple Swiss Steak image

A recipe from my Great Aunt Alta's collection. This is one she clipped from the Chicago Tribune and it had won the "$5 Favorite Recipe Prize," a weekly feature in the newspaper. I am not sure if she ever made this one or not, but I thought it sounded good enough to share. These days, I would use a few spoonfuls of olive oil to brown the steak instead of the bacon drippings originally called for.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pineapple swiss steak turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce just didn't have any flavor.

This recipe is a great starting point for pineapple swiss steak. I made a few changes to the sauce, and it turned out amazing. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The meat was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I would definitely make it again, but I might make a few changes to the sauce.

I had some trouble getting the meat tender. I cooked it for the full 2 hours, but it was still a bit tough. I think I might have needed to use a different cut of beef.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a little less pineapple juice in the sauce.

5 stars! This recipe is a winner. The meat was fall-apart tender and the sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I'm so glad I did! The pineapple sauce was tangy and sweet, and it paired perfectly with the tender beef.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always turned out great. The only thing I do differently is to use chicken broth instead of water in the sauce. It adds a nice depth of flavor.
