That looks soooooo good! I used to make that when everyone was home. I didn't use tomatoes so it made a nice brown gravy and I cooked it in a Dutch oven on top of the stove with plenty of onions. It was a real hit.
Loved the Swiss Steak my other made when I was a kid, and I've made it before, not too bad. I used this recipe (more-or-less) and I think it was the best Swiss Steak anybody has ever made. Best. Ever. :) Changes: used Sherry instead of vermouth, skipped the Ground Mustard and Worchestershire since I had none, used bottled chopped garlic, and beef bullion instead of broth. Diced tomatoes with mild chilies, 'cause that's what I had. Simmered 90 minutes. The meat, which was bottom round steak, was as tender as any cut of beef I've ever eaten, and the sauce/gravy was delicious. Served with cottage fries and a fresh salad.
Thank you for your kind words, thank you very much! I love your using Sherry, I think that is a brilliant idea and all your changes sounds fine with me. Glad you like this. ~Michael
That thing your using is called a Jaccard...they work great for anything, even chicken...got mine on E-Bay it has 48 blades. My husband and I were out and had a steak sandwich at this club. The chef came out and asked how our steak sandwichs were and I told him that I've never had a sandwich that tender in my life, at that point I asked him how did you get this steak sooo tender in such a short time and he told me to get a jaccard, the more blades the better. So 48 blades is a nice one to have
I did this but I used stewed tomatoes and then added all the ingredients to a Reynolds oven bag and cooked it on 350 for 1 hour in the oven. It turned out good.
Just said to hubby "I remember a dish from my childhood that had steak and tomatoes and mushrooms, and I really want to make it". I should have come here first! Warm wishes as always :)
Warm Wishes to you too, but it is so cold here. I heard that it is really hot there. Melbourne has been in the news here, especially how HOT for the tennis games.
***** It's certainly a hot summer :) We live in Perth, Western Australia now. It was 46 c recently (about 119 f for you over there). I think they should move the tennis indoors now, it's just hellish for the players. As always, love your channel Michael :)
You do such a fantastic job with your cooking demonstrations. Choice of background music provides a great background that makes your videos even more interesting to watch. Choice of recipes are fantastic, too! EXCELLENT JOB!
made this the other day, the wife and the kids loved it! Thanks! Followed it all the way but cooked in crock pot for 3 hours on high and the steak fell apart, mmmm delicious! Thanks for posting!
Magnificent! Your Swiss Stake looks tender & delicious. I have not prepared Swiss Stake for years. I like the device/tool you have for preparing the stake. Many years ago my husbands dad knew the chef at the Gentleman Jim's Restaurant located in Lower South River near Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. When he prepared his Swiss Stake he pounded the flower into the stake using the back of a large knife blade. It was quite the exercise and he used a second application of flour. I often wondered what purpose the pounding of the stake accomplished. Perhaps it was just another way to make it tender. Thankyou so much for sharing your recipe and I wish you many happy times in your kitchen.
Thank you for taking the time to do the video. It is very helpful when we can find recipes that are simple, hardy and crock pot friendly. I just bought a Ninja so I assume that since I can brown and use as a crock pot that I could amend the recipe to work in that. Truly appreciate you going to the trouble of putting this out on the web for us! Please continue doing videos and I will continue to watch! Sincerely yours, Barb
With winter heading our way soon, that's definately one for me to try - looks yummy with the mashed potatoes. Our slow cooker 'died' recently, have to get a new one quick! Thanks for the inspiration :) Warm wishes, Q.
I just made this in my intstant pot for 20 minutes, and I tenderized it with a mallet first, then I put in a whole thinly sliced green pepper and that is what made it amazing. You cannot go wrong here. This recipe looks great and I need to get that tenderizer thingy you used!
Hi Nancy, thank you for your comment. I really appreciate cooks like you with your ideas. I will make this in my pressure cooker sometime soon because of you! I just have a regular old pressure cooker. Thank you Nancy. ~Michael
I also wash my mushrooms, all the chef's say to just wipe with a damp rag but I really feel the need to get my mushrooms cleaner then that, so I run them under cold water a few seconds and rub them really fast with my fingers, then dry then fast. I don't know what the big deal is with not getting them wet, I've been washing mushrooms all my life and they taste tender to me, not stopping anytime soon. You just keep on washin them too, at least we know they are clean, keep making them video's
That round steak has a good amount of marble. My mom used to make this (her own version, of course), and she would buy the cubed steak from the meat dept. Basically a tenderized round steak ready-to-go. In fact, this particular recipe is going to be one of my very first cooking videos when I get started. Thanks for all of your nice ideas. :) --- also, I'[m glad you didnt load it down with msg.
My mom cooked it in a cast iron skillet for two hours covered on low. She tenderized Swiss or round steaks with the edge of a plate after coating it with flour, salt & pepper first. Brown steaks first, don’t burn the onions. She also used Lambrusco, Tom paste & catsup. Sounds gross tasted amazing.
I have an old old recipe for Swiss steak from you probably 2025 years old I believe I got it when I lived on the west side, and I wanted to see someone else make it as well. This came to closest to yours more broth color than so much diced tomatoes And it looks about the same. I would omit the mushrooms that’s me and I would have to look up how much carbs in washer, sire sauce, and less onions but obviously this looks really good and then he puts it at the end into the crockpot. what a great way to get to tenderize because I’ve gotten rid of my. It was my mom’s old meat tenderizer in a little hammer so this made me think of you for the recipe you gave me. .🥰
I apologize, but I don't remember you Patty. So sorry. 20/25 years ago I lived in San Diego CA. I lived in a latino neighborhood with lots of Vietnamese mixed in. I was in the minority of that neighborhood. I am very happy you like this recipe!
I made this with tenderized back strap ( venizon ) last night and it was so tender and good !! I didnt use mushrooms as they arent really available here in the midwest. But man it was awesome!! Thanks for the recipe :) . Love it and my family , including 2 fur babies LOVE IT too! Cant go wrong with swiss steak
Thank you so much for posting this and making your cooking demo! I've made this before, but only with cube steak, and it was also very good. I would like to try another cut of meat, for a more roast beef like taste and texture. So, thanks again, and I'll let you know how it turned out.
This looks so good! I am headed to the kitchen in about 5 minutes to get started! I think I will have brocolli and mashed potatoes too! Thanks for the great idea!!!
Watched one video and continued on watching about 5 more. Look forward to viewing further. Great recipe. Great banner video as well. Creative on the Bond approach. Nice touch! Keep 'em coming. Thanks
Great recipe. I had to make a couple subs - I didn't have Worcestershire so I used A1, and I didn't have Vermouth or red wine, so I used cooking Sherry. It came out great.
This reminds me of my mom's recipe - though my Dad wouldn't allow garlic in the house and my mom hated Oregano, and I don't think my mom used mushrooms either. I remember her pounding the steak with a butcher knife. It wouldn't occur to her to ask the butcher to tenderize it for her. Your recipe looks wonderful. Just the right amount of sauce and the steak was fork tender! I'll have to make this for Sunday dinner. Though I'll probably pop it in the oven to braise. I'm way too impatient for a crock pot.
Yes!!!! Yes!!!!! Yes, Yes ....Yes Yes!!!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmm, I swear to god i can almost taste this, and it's driving me crazy :))))lol. Thanks Michael, MrChi-townstorm
Hello Mike this looks sooo good lol. I enjoy cooking myself and I have to tell ya steak is one of my favorite pieces of meat. I will be making this for my new years celebration next year. I wonder could I add large shrimp in it as well? Thanks again for this amazing dish.
I have to try that Swiss steak, it looks sooooooo goooooood. Unfortunately I am allergic to mushrooms, so am substituting new potatoes instead. Will come back in a couple of weeks and share how I got on. Have subscribed for a long time, been playing catch-up here this morning.
Where in the world do you find round steak? I haven't seen it in years. My dad made swiss steak with bone in round steak (similar to your recipe) and we loved it. I wash my mushrooms too, but only just before I use them. Mushrooms and moisture don't mix when it comes to storage. I also store them in paper towel...get rid of the plastic...and they will keep for a week.
I love that you give the different options to cooking. The crock pot is totally the way to go :)
That looks soooooo good! I used to make that when everyone was home. I didn't use tomatoes so it made a nice brown gravy and I cooked it in a Dutch oven on top of the stove with plenty of onions. It was a real hit.
That's how i remember my grandma making it 👍

Thank you Melanie

This recipe is a staple in our house. Making it tonight! Thanks, Michael!
Hi Jenny! Sounds good to me too, enjoy your evening!
~Michael
I remember my mother used to make this dish, decades ago; I sure do miss her.
I am sorry about your mother.
~Michael
I wash mushrooms too, I just make sure they don't sit in water and soak it up, but a good quick rinse makes sense to me too.
west-island kev I’ve always have washed my mushrooms. I have never heard not to wash. Why shouldn’t we wash them?
That thing your using is called a Jaccard...they work great for anything, even chicken...got mine on E-Bay it has 48 blades. My husband and I were out and had a steak sandwich at this club. The chef came out and asked how our steak sandwichs were and I told him that I've never had a sandwich that tender in my life, at that point I asked him how did you get this steak sooo tender in such a short time and he told me to get a jaccard, the more blades the better. So 48 blades is a nice one to have

Hello Mike this looks sooo good lol. I enjoy cooking myself and I have to tell ya steak is one of my favorite pieces of meat. I will be making this for my new years celebration next year. I wonder could I add large shrimp in it as well? Thanks again for this amazing dish.
I have to try that Swiss steak, it looks sooooooo goooooood. Unfortunately I am allergic to mushrooms, so am substituting new potatoes instead. Will come back in a couple of weeks and share how I got on. Have subscribed for a long time, been playing catch-up here this morning.
Thank you and I hope you like this!
~Michael
Instead of mushrooms some people use bell pepper. Me, I use carrots, celery and onion. Also good.
science has proven that washing mushrooms it's fine. The mushrooms do not take on any extra water that is appreciable. :-)
Yes, you are correct. Thank you for watching! I hope you subscribe :)
~Michael
Looks yumn
Dang, I'm hungrey! Thanks!

Where in the world do you find round steak? I haven't seen it in years. My dad made swiss steak with bone in round steak (similar to your recipe) and we loved it.
I wash my mushrooms too, but only just before I use them. Mushrooms and moisture don't mix when it comes to storage. I also store them in paper towel...get rid of the plastic...and they will keep for a week.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Yummy
