Creamy Swiss Steak

Cultural Context

Creamy Swiss Steak is a comforting American dish that originated in the mid-20th century, often served as a family dinner. It showcases the technique of braising tougher cuts of beef to create a tender, flavorful meal. The addition of cream adds richness, making it a beloved choice for home cooks. Today, variations abound, with some incorporating different vegetables or sauces, but the essence remains the same: hearty, creamy, and satisfying.

Servings4
1 1/2 pounds cube steak
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 carrots, peeled
1 small onion, peeled
4 potatoes
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz each)

1

Start by gathering all of your ingredients.

2

Combine the flour with the seasoned salt and pepper in a plastic bag.

3

Add one or two pieces of the steak to the bag. Shake to coat the steak evenly with flour, then shake off any excess flour.

4

Melt a few tablespoons of butter in your slow cooker pan or fry pan. When the pan is hot, add two or three pieces of the tenderized steak in a single layer, adding little pats of butter around the steak to keep the pan from drying up.

5

Brown on each side, then set aside. Repeat until all the steak is browned.

6

Peel and cut carrots and onion into large chunks.

7

Place vegetable pieces and about two tablespoons of water into a chopper attachment and grind until all pieces are chopped into uniform size.

8

In a medium sized bowl, add the cans of cream of mushroom soup with the chopped vegetables along with a can full of cold water. Flavor the swiss steak gravy with your favorite seasonings and stir until incorporated.

9

Place about one cup of the swiss steak gravy into the bottom of the slow cooker pan. Place one layer of the steak overtop of the gravy and add another layer of gravy. Repeat until you end up with a layer of gravy on the top.

10

Tuck in the whole potatoes and carrots alongside of the steak so that they are covered by the cream of mushroom soup gravy.

11

Put the lid onto the slow cooker pan and return the pan to the cooker base. Set the temperature to medium/high (#4).

12

Cook for 6 to 10 hours, stirring occasionally if possible.
