Slow-Cooker Swiss Steak

27g protein. Diabetic Exchanges: 3 lean meat

In a bowl or shallow dish, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Add the steak and flip until it’s completely coated, then be sure to shake off any excess.

Slow-cook the steak

Place the onion in a greased 3-quart slow cooker. Top with the steak, celery and tomato sauce. Cover and cook on low for six to eight hours or until meat is tender.

I first made this recipe about 30 years ago when I saw it in a slow cooker cookbook.  It's been a standard winter dish for me ever since.  The only difference is that I flour, season, and brown the steak first before putting in my crockpot with a generous teaspoon of chopped garlic.  Throw in some cut up red or gold potatoes, a bit of beef broth, and a few carrots and you've got a complete dinner.    But, it's a great recipe as is.   Thanks for sharing.

My new 'go to'!  Super easy, extra yummy, didn't change a thing! Thank you!

I made this for my family and it was a hit. I made a few changes, though, I seasoned the flour with garlic powder,  basil, paprika and black pepper, browned the meat in a cast iron Dutch oven, then deglazed it with red wine, scraped up the browned bits and added it to the crockpot. I also used 2 beef bullion cubes and omitted the salt. The beef was VERY tender! I served it with mashed potatoes and baked acorn squash. Yummy,  inexpensive and easy cool weather dish.

I made this yesterday and it was absolutely excellent! I did add some chopped up red pepper since I had a small piece in the fridge that needed to be used up. I also used seasoned salt and some garlic powder in the flour. Just a few minor adjustments, but they worked! Will definitely keep this in the dinner rotation.

Pour a can of beer into the crock pot during cooking!

When making this recipe, mine is very similar/same, only I use canned diced tomatoes as well, steak sauce (any kind and sometimes a couple different types), and a handful of sun maid raisins (they add a pop of sweetness and are really good! Even my raisin haters eat them in this. Serve on mashed potatoes with corn on the cob!

Excellent recipe.  I had 1 can of tomato sauce, so I added a good squirt of catsup to make up for the other.  Also added a can of stewed tomatoes.  This recipe lends itself to making other additions--you could add sliced mushrooms, sliced bell pepper, garlic, etc.  Meat is tender and tasty.  So EASY!

This is a version of the way I’ve made Swiss Steak for 40 years, except I use 2 cans of condensed tomato soup instead of tomato sauce. It makes a sweeter sauce. It can also  be cooked in a regular oven after browning. In recent years, my family has insisted that we add a can sweet corn before serving it over noodles.

Seasonings are a personal choice and for my family I'll be adding more bell peppers, chili sauce, celery, garlic, and other spices.  The swiss steak was SO tender.  This was a wonderful starter recipe that we will build on to our tastes.  I like the crockpot version, just add all the ingredients, turn on low for 8 hours and go about the day.  Thanks for sharing!

Delicious and easy!  Can't wait to make it again!!

I added 1/4 head of raw cabbage, chopped to this recipe.   also I didn't have any tomato sauce so I used 2, 14 oz. cans of diced tomatoes.  Our son, who doesn't like veggies, had 3 helpings of veggie sauce for every piece of steak.  will def make again

i MADE THIS FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT. My husband LOVED it!!! He's a picky eater when it comes to new dinners. I could make this again tonight and he'd be thrilled. I served it over whole wheat noodles. Wonderful. Passed it on.

Yummy! This has become a go to for me. WW friendly and so tender. I used traditional oven with my roasting pan covered tightly with foil at 190-200 degrees. Just my preference for red meat and so successful.

I quickly browned the meat, added sliced bell peppers,  sodium free garlic and herb seasoning, replaced the tomato sauce with fire roasted diced tomato pureed and a splash of Worstershire sauce......

We make this with rice and  enough water gor the rice in the bottom of the slowcooker.  Delicious meal.   Feel free to add bell pepper strips and carrots if desired.

I tripled this recipe and used my 7qt crock. Rather than "shake and toss" I had floured each steak and set on top of the bed of onion. I'm picky of the sauce so I tend to use Contadina almost exclusively. On placing the steaks in the crock with the celery, I poured the sauce over the meat and set on medium for about 6.5 hours. Paired with Buttery mashers, this dish was enjoyed by the brothers in the lodge and given a large thumbs up! My family enjoyed the savory aroma and is asking me to make it for them! Thanks!

This is in the slow cooker for the second time this week. So good. All I do differently from original recipe is (based on other reviews) to brown pieces of steak first, plus add a generous dash of Worstershire sauce with the tomato sauce, and it's in the slow cooker on High for 4 hours. It is food that goes down very easily ... and stays down. Oh yeah!

I added a tsp. of ground mustard to make it a little more like my mother's recipe. Delicious and very easy!
