Crockpot Swiss Steak is a hearty, comforting dish featuring tenderized beef slow-cooked in a rich tomato and vegetable gravy until melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs round steak or cube steak
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup flour (for dredging)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the steaks on both sides.
  3. Place sliced onions, peppers, carrots, and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Lay the browned steaks on top of the vegetables.
  5. Whisk together diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and thyme. Pour over the steaks and add the bay leaf.
  6. Cover and cook on Low for 7–8 hours or High for 4–5 hours, until the meat is tender.
  7. Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve hot with gravy spooned over the top.

Notes

  • Mushrooms can be added for extra flavor.
  • Use crushed tomatoes for a smoother sauce.
  • A splash of red wine deepens the flavor.
  • Red pepper flakes can add heat if desired.
  • Smoked paprika creates a richer, smoky taste.
