SLOW COOKER SWISS STEAK



Slow Cooker Swiss Steak image

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!

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 2 to 2 1/2 pound round or top round steak, about an inch thick
A couple tablespoons of flour
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 cups puréed tomatoes (canned or fresh)
2 teaspoons each of fresh thyme, sage, marjoram, or 1/2 teaspoon each of dried
Optional: Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, or green beans

Steps:

  • Sauté onions and garlic: Remove the steak from the pan and set aside. Add onions and garlic to the pan and another tablespoon of oil. Cook the onions and garlic for 3-5 minutes, using a metal spatula to scrape up any steak drippings, mixing them in with the onions. Add half of the herbs to the onions.
  • Cover and simmer: Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. If you have a domed lid that fits, use it. A domed lid will help circulate the steam and moisture from the cooking juices and keep the steak moist. Bring the steak in the tomato purée to a simmer and then lower the heat to the lowest heat possible to maintain a low simmer. (We use the warm setting on our electric range, if using a high BTU gas range you may want to prop the pot up on some balled up foil to give it more distance from the heat.) Cook for 1 1/2 hours.

INSTANT POT® SWISS STEAK



Instant Pot® Swiss Steak image

Bottom round steak and a few kitchen staples is comfort food. When the leaves start to fall and the temperatures drop it's time for something hearty. I've used bottom round but any tough, lean cut of beef will work. Serve over noodles or rice to soak up all of that great sauce.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Beef     Swiss Steak Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ pounds bottom round steak, 1 inch thick and trimmed of fat
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided, or as needed
1 medium onion, chopped
½ cup carrot, chopped
½ cup chopped celery
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ cup Merlot wine
2 ¾ cups canned chopped Italian-style tomatoes in juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Dry steak well with paper towels and cut into four 4-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place flour into a shallow bowl. Dredge steak pieces in flour, shaking off excess.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Once the pot is hot, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Brown the steak in batches, so you don't crowd the pot, 2 minutes per side. Transfer browned meat to a warm plate and set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the pot and cook onion, carrot, celery, and bell pepper until onions are soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pot with Merlot. Mix in tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and paprika. Return steak to the pot and push down into the tomato mixture.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select manual pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Allow pressure to release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Carefully open the valve to release the remaining pressure, about 5 minutes more. Unlock and remove the lid.
