Slow Cooker Swiss Steak
Description
This Slow Cooker Swiss Steak recipe starts with thin steaks layered with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic seasoned with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. A mixture of beef stock, flour, and oil is poured in to create a savory base which thickens during the slow cooking. Cooking low and slow for several hours tenderizes the steak and develops deep flavor in the gravy. Adding heavy cream near the end lends a creamy texture and smooths the sauce.
The dish benefits from gentle flavors blending with the earthiness of mushrooms and the aromatic lift from fresh parsley and black pepper garnish. Served hot, this Swiss Steak is well suited to be ladled over mashed potatoes or a similar soft side, which complements the rich gravy.
For best results, check seasoning after cooking and adjust salt and pepper. Cooking times can vary depending on the cut and thickness of the steaks.
