"One old school steak dish that ought to make a comeback this fall is one with a unique name and rich flavor. Though it has nothing to do with Switzerland, Swiss steak has everything to do with the method of tenderizing the meat prior to braising it with tomatoes and vegetables. Swiss steak is the perfect fall recipe for its hearty beef and vegetable ingredients. What's more, it is typically made using round, rump, or chuck steak, which tend be on the cheaper side."
"While the cuts of beef in a Swiss steak recipe are more accessibly priced, it means some extra effort is needed to bring this recipe to life. Use a meat mallet to pound your steak to optimal tenderness before cooking. This is actually where the name "Swiss" comes from, referring to an English term for a similar action. Braising or slow cooking your Swiss steak will yield a cozy meal."
"You can prepare an easy Swiss steak recipe in the oven or the crockpot. Whichever method you choose, this slow process of cooking will easily fill your home with the delightful scents of fall, creating a cozy ambience and potential for enjoying leftovers. Try serving the steak over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles. It definitely lends itself to many complementary carb and starch-heavy sides or even a portion of cauliflower rice for a lighter offering."
Swiss steak uses affordable cuts like round, rump, or chuck, tenderized with a meat mallet then braised with tomatoes and vegetables. Pounding the meat creates tenderness and gives the dish its name, derived from an English term for that action. Braising, slow roasting, or slow-cooking in a crockpot yields tender beef and deep flavor while filling the home with cozy fall aromas. The dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or cauliflower rice for a lighter option. Slow cooking produces satisfying leftovers and makes Swiss steak an economical, hearty choice for autumn meals.
