Swiss Steak Supreme

Ingredients
Instructions
- Pound 6 tablespoons of flour into the sides of the steak.
- Brown the steak in hot fat in a skillet.
- Add all remaining ingredients to the skillet.
- Cover and cook over simmer heat or in the oven until the steak is tender, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Uncover the skillet during the last 15 minutes of cooking to let the sauce thicken.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, marinate the steak in Worcestershire sauce and vinegar for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have round or flank steak, chuck steak is a great substitute. For a thicker sauce, you can add a bit of cornstarch mixed with water towards the end of cooking. Consider serving with crusty bread for dipping, reminiscent of Grandma Dye's Mini Meat Loaves With Vegetables.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Swiss Steak Supreme over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. This dish also pairs beautifully with American recipes like Beef-Stuffed Green Peppers(From 1975 Edition) for a hearty family dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the Swiss steak in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of steak for this recipe?

Is it possible to make this dish in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! To adapt this recipe for a slow cooker, brown the steak first, then add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the steak is tender and flavorful.
