SLOW COOKER SWISS STEAK
I threw this together in my crock pot one day and we loved it! A little time consuming because I sauteed the vegetables and browned the meat first, but it's well worth it. Browning the meat first gives it a better flavor. This is great with mashed potatoes!

This recipe was originally for beef round steak, but I've only used boneless venison steaks with it. If you prefer, you can thicken the sauce with cornstarch.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or round steak are both good choices for Swiss steak, as they are both tough cuts of meat that will become tender when slow-cooked.
- Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice crust.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is a key ingredient in Swiss steak, so it's important to use a good quality broth that is full of flavor.
- Add vegetables to the slow cooker: Adding vegetables to the slow cooker along with the beef will help to create a more flavorful and nutritious dish.
- Cook the Swiss steak on low for at least 8 hours: This will ensure that the beef is cooked through and tender.
- Serve the Swiss steak with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice: These are all classic side dishes that pair well with Swiss steak.
Conclusion:
Swiss steak is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make in a slow cooker. With its tender beef, flavorful gravy, and delicious vegetables, Swiss steak is a dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give Swiss steak a try!
