Skillet Swiss Steak Recipes

SKILLET SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to warm (roughly 200F).
• Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a large, cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
• Mix the flour, salt, and pepper together on a large plate. Dredge the cube steak by pressing it into the flour to coat it lightly.
• Place the dredged steak into the hot skillet and cook the steak 3-4 minutes on each side, reducing the heat to medium if the pan gets too hot. Once the steak is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter (or 8x8 baking dish) and place it in the oven to stay warm.
• Add the remaining 1 Tbsp butter to the skillet. Once the butter is hot, add the sliced celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté over medium heat 5 minutes, or until softened.
• Add the tomatoes (with their juice), Worcestershire sauce, flour, and thyme. Mix well and bring the sauce to a simmer over medium high heat. Simmer the sauce until thickened 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve, spoon the vegetable mixture over the cooked steak.
• Serve with mashed potatoes*, pasta, or rice.

MY MOTHER'S SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Stir flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl. Sprinkle pieces of steak with flour mixture and pound the flour mixture into the meat with a meat mallet or the edge of a sturdy plate.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the floured beef in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low, pour in water, cover skillet, and simmer beef until tender, about 1 hour. Add more water to the skillet if needed to prevent burning.
• Mix diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Pour tomato mixture over beef, bring to a simmer, and cook until sauce has thickened, about 30 more minutes.

SLOW COOKER SWISS STEAK AND ONION

Steps:

• Mix flour, salt, mustard, and pepper together in a wide, shallow bowl.
• Dredge cube steaks in the flour mixture to coat completely.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a slow cooker, reserving drippings in the skillet.
• Saute onion and garlic in the reserved drippings in the skillet until softened, 2 to 3 minutes more; add to the slow cooker. Discard the oil.
• Stir beef broth and tomato paste together in a bowl until the paste dissolves into the broth; add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, and oregano. Pour the broth mixture over the steaks in the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low until the meat is tender to the point of falling apart, 6 to 8 hours.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 t. salt, and 1/4 t. pepper; coat the steak with the mixture.
• In a large skillet, heat 4 T. of the oil over medium-high heat; add the steak and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through. (If your skillet is not large enough to cook all the steak at once, cook it in two batches, adding more oil if needed.) Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 T. of oil over medium-high heat and saute the celery and onion for about 5 minutes or until tender. Add the carrot slices, spaghetti sauce, and the remaining salt and pepper; mix well. Add the steak to the mixture, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until warmed through.

EASY AND QUICK SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and pepper, and paprika. Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture, and place in the skillet. Brown steaks on both sides, and remove from heat.
• In a slow cooker, alternate layers of steak, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes.
• Cover, and cook 6 to 8 hours on Low, until steaks are very tender.
