Description
This Slow Cooker Swiss Steak recipe transforms simple round steaks into a tender, flavorful dish simmered in a rich tomato and beef broth mixture infused with Worcestershire sauce, onions, and bell peppers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 lbs. round steaks, or bottom or top round roast cut into thick steaks
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 4 Tbsp. cooking oil
- 10.5 oz. Campbell’s beef consomme, or beef broth
- 29 oz. petite diced tomatoes (two 14.5 oz. cans), do not drain
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- On a large plate, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to create an even seasoning blend for the steaks.
- Coat each steak in the flour mixture on both sides, shaking off excess, then transfer them to another plate. Save any leftover flour mixture for later use in the slow cooker.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough cooking oil to coat the pan. Brown the steaks on both sides until they develop a rich golden crust but are not cooked through. You may need to brown in batches, adding more oil as needed. Once browned, place the steaks in the slow cooker and sprinkle with any remaining flour mixture.
- Pour the beef consomme or broth into the hot skillet, scraping up all browned bits from the bottom to capture maximum flavor. Pour this deglazed liquid into the slow cooker over the meat.
- Add the petite diced tomatoes (with juice), Worcestershire sauce, diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all ingredients with the meat and broth.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain temperature and moisture.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or rice.
- You can substitute the round steak with other cuts of beef.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or celery for extra flavor.
