Tips & Substitutions
For tender Swiss steak, consider marinating the meat in buttermilk for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have round steak, flank or chuck steak can be used as substitutes. Adding vegetables like bell peppers or onions can enhance the flavor and nutrition. For a vegetarian version, try using seitan or tempeh instead of beef.

Serve Swiss steak over a bed of the sautéed egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
