Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a well-marbled round steak to enhance flavor and tenderness. You can substitute the dry mustard with Dijon mustard for a milder taste. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix in a tablespoon of tomato paste. Consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra umami. Make sure to brown the steak well to develop rich flavors.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Deviled Swiss Steak over a bed of mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. Pair it with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad to balance the richness. This dish also pairs beautifully with a slice of crusty bread to help scoop up the savory sauce.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. Alternatively, you can microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
