Swiss Steak  is a perfect family friendly meal that is simple to make tin the slow cooker. This amazing recipe creates the most tender beef in a rich & creamy gravy.  We love to serve it with mashed potatoes, but it would also be good over rice or noodles as well.   

We love really easy slow cooker meals!  In addition to this Slow Cooker Swiss Steak recipe, you should also try Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches and Slow Cooker Herbed Roast & Gravy  For a similar recipe made for your Instant Pot, try Instant Pot Cubed Steak & Gravy.  

Swiss Steak

Is Swiss Steak from Switzerland?

Actually, no it’s not.  I always thought it originated in Switzerland, but when I did a little research, I found that the name originated from the word swissing.  Swissing is a term that means smoothing out a piece of cloth between rollers.  Swiss steak is often made with meat that has been pounded flat.  In the US we call that meat cubed steak which is the meat that we use in this easy slow cooker dish.  Cubed steak is typically less expensive than regular roasts and steaks.  

Are Swiss Steak and Smothered Steak the same thing?  

Yes.  In England it’s called Smothered Steak and in the United States it’s called swiss steak.  I used to think that swiss steak was just a Kansas thing, as all the recipes I found were from Kansans and I didn’t know very many people outside of Kansas who had eaten it before.  I’ve since learned that it’s made world-wide!  I do have a Slow Cooker Smothered Steak recipe that is different than this one.  It is a more tomato based sauce than this one.  

What Do You Serve with Swiss Steak

My favorite to serve with swiss steak is mashed potatoes and green beans.  I like to have the mashed potatoes so that we can put some of the extra gravy on the potatoes.  Any other vegetable or salad would work with this meal though.  My favorites would be steamed broccoli, carrots, peas, salad, asparagus or even french fries if you don’t want to do the mashed potatoes.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
