  • Brown the beef well: Browning the beef before braising it helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use store-bought or homemade beef broth.
  • Add vegetables to the braising liquid: Vegetables such as onions, carrots, and celery add flavor and nutrition to the Swiss steak.
  • Cook the Swiss steak until it is tender: The Swiss steak should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
