Savory Swiss steak is fork tender, juicy, and sweet from sauteed onions and peppers. This is a hearty, one-pot meal that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or Shabbat.

The Backstory: I love making one-pot meals and Swiss steak is among my favorites.  You can make this anytime of the day and reheat it when you need to. I have been trying to think were I came up with this recipe and I honestly don’t have a clue.  All I know is that I have been preparing this for decades and love that it can be pulled together in about an hour.

Recipe Notes

---

 

This delicious meal is also what I call a ‘stretcher’ recipe, as it can go a long, long way.  It can serve many people (it’s fabulous for a dinner party or when cooking for a crowd) and when you think about it, it is also economical.  Even though steak is not cheap, if you add a little more of the pepper and onions, or other veggies, you can get a lot of mileage out of it. Not a bad way to go. Swiss steak is delicious with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, wide noodles or rice as a perfect side dish.
