STEAK WITH RED WINE MUSHROOMS RECIPE
Steps:
- In a large (12-inch) skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until foaming. Add the mushrooms, garlic and green onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden.
- Add the wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits in the pan. Bring to a boil and simmer until the wine is reduced by half and beginning to glaze the mushrooms.
- In the meantime, liberally salt the steaks. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet (such as cast iron) until shimmering, then add the steaks. Cook, turning only once, until medium-rare or to your desired doneness. If necessary, cook the steaks in two skillet to avoid crowding. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Season the mushrooms to taste with salt and pepper, then remove them from the heat. Add the parsley and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir until the butter just melts and makes the sauce silky.
- Serve the steaks with the red-wine mushrooms.

CLASSIC SWISS STEAK
Meet the Cook: When I prepare this dish for my husband and me (we're retired with two children, both grown, and two grandchildren), I always serve rolls or bread to dip in the sauce. We enjoy it to the last drop! Along with the Swiss steak, we like to have coleslaw or sliced cucumbers mixed with sour cream. -Lorraine Dyda, Rancho Palos Verdes, California

ONE-POT SWISS STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS
This recipe will need some time to cook and develop the flavors, it's an easy recipe that is done all in one pot and even tastes better the next day! You can use diced tomatoes with juice in place of the stewed tomatoes but I have to say that the stewed tomatoes are better ;-) The water/cornstarch is only optional add in for a thicker sauce.

- Cover and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck steak is the traditional cut used for Swiss steak, but you can also use round steak or flank steak. Just be sure to choose a cut that is at least 1 inch thick.
- Tenderize the beef: Before cooking, pound the beef with a meat mallet or tenderizing tool. This will help to break down the connective tissue and make the meat more tender.
- Brown the beef: Browning the beef before braising it adds flavor and color to the dish. Be sure to brown the beef in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
- Use a good quality red wine: The red wine used in this recipe should be a dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. Do not use a sweet red wine, as it will make the dish too sweet.
- Simmer the beef until it is tender: The beef should simmer in the red wine sauce for at least 1 hour, or until it is fall-apart tender.

Swiss steak is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Follow these tips and you'll be sure to make a delicious Swiss steak that your family and friends will love.Note: This recipe can be made in a slow cooker.
