Creamy Swiss Steak

This old fashioned swiss steak is fork tender in a cream gravy.  My cube steak recipe is browned and slow cooked to perfection.  

Plan ahead and pair with potatoes and carrots for a no-fuss dinner on those busy nights when you do not have time to prepare a hot, healthy meal.  

Definitely, one of the best mushroom steak recipes that I learned how to make from my Aunt Bonnie when I was a teenager.  In the summers growing up, I would spend time with my Uncle Ray, Aunt Bonnie, cousins Karen and Scott.  

They owned a country-side restaurant that I worked at for several years starting out as a busser/hostess/cashier, then dishwasher, pre-cook, line cook and finally a waitress.

How To Make Swiss Steak In A Slow Cooker

When I stepped into the cooking role my Aunt Bonnie taught me several amazing recipes and this creamy Swiss steak recipe was one of them.  

More importantly, you should print this easy swiss steak recipe and share this post with all of your family and friends.  Come back often to find what other recipes that my aunt taught me. 

How to make swiss steak with cream of mushroom soup!

Start by gathering all of your ingredients.  

To begin with combine the flour with the seasoned salt and pepper in a plastic bag.  Add one or two pieces of the steak to the bag.  

Shake, shake, and shake some more! It’s equally important to make sure that the cubed steak is evenly coated with flour so when you take the steak out of the bag, shake the meat to take off any excess flour.  

Melt a few tablespoons of butter in your slow cooker pan or fry pan.  When the pan is hot add two or three pieces of the tenderized steak in a single layer.  

Definitely add little pats of butter around the steak when cooking to keep the pan from drying up.  Brown on each side, then set aside.  Repeat until all the steak is browned.  

Gravy

I like to use my Braun wand with the chopper attachment for this step.  First, peel and cut carrots and onion into large chunks.  

Second, place vegetable pieces and about two tablespoons of water into the chopper attachment and grind until all pieces are chopped into uniform size.

Next, in a medium sized bowl add the cans of cream of mushroom soup with the chopped vegetables along with a can full of cold water.  

Flavor the gravy with your favorite seasonings if desired.  Stir all ingredients until incorporated.  

Time to layer!!  

Start by placing about one cup of the gravy into the bottom of the slow cooker.  Place one layer of the steak overtop of the gravy and add another layer of gravy.  Repeat until you end up with a layer of gravy on the top.  

The next step is to tuck in the whole potatoes and carrots alongside of the steak so that they are covered by the cream of mushroom soup gravy.  

After that, put the lid onto the slow cooker pan. Finally, return the pan to the cooker base and set the temperature to medium/high.  After that, cook for 6 to 10 hours.  Stir occasionally if possible.       

What is the difference between Swiss steak and Salisbury steak recipes?

Salisbury steak is made with ground burger that is shaped into patties where swiss steak is made with a piece of tenderized steak.  Another difference between the two is S.S. is made with a cream gravy sauce but salisbury steak is made with a brown gravy sauce.
