Ingredients:
- Cubed steak
- Seasoned flour (flour mixed with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs)
- Butter
- Green bell pepper, sliced
- Red bell pepper, sliced
- Yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cans (28 oz each) Italian-seasoned crushed tomatoes
- Mashed potatoes (for serving)
For Gravy:
- Cornstarch
- Water
Instructions:
- Prepare Cubed Steak:
- Dredge cubed steak in seasoned flour, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Brown the Steak:
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Quickly brown the cubed steak on both sides. This step helps seal in the flavors.
- Prepare Vegetables:
- Slice the green and red bell peppers, as well as the yellow onion.
- Layer Ingredients in Crockpot:
- Begin by placing a layer of Italian-seasoned crushed tomatoes at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Add a layer of the browned cubed steak on top of the tomatoes.
- Follow with layers of sliced bell peppers and onions.
- Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of tomatoes on top.
- Cook Low and Slow:
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for approximately 8 hours. The slow cooking allows the flavors to meld, resulting in tender and flavorful Swiss steak.
- Prepare Mashed Potatoes:
- While the Swiss steak is cooking, prepare mashed potatoes to serve as a delicious side.
- Make Gravy:
- About an hour before the Swiss steak is done, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the crockpot, stirring gently to thicken the gravy.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, serve the Swiss steak over a bed of mashed potatoes, allowing the rich gravy to enhance the flavors.
- Enjoy:
- Sit back, relax, and enjoy this comforting and hearty slow-cooked Swiss steak with your favorite side of mashed potatoes.
