Slow Cooker Swiss Steak
Description
This recipe begins by seasoning and dredging medium-thin round steaks in a mixture of flour, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, creating a seasoned crust. The steaks are browned in butter over medium-high heat to develop flavor and texture before transfer to the slow cooker.
Vegetables including sliced onions, mushrooms, and celery are added around the meat. Pouring a mixture of condensed cream of mushroom soup and beef broth over the top creates a base for a rich gravy as the dish cooks slowly. Cooking times range from 5-6 hours on high to 8-9 hours on low, until the steaks become fork-tender and infused with the mushroom sauce.
Serving the Swiss steak with mashed potatoes allows soaking up the thickened gravy, making a hearty meal. Parsley can be added as a garnish to provide a fresh contrast. This recipe offers a convenient way to prepare a classic comfort dish with tender beef and savory flavors.
