This Homestyle Swiss Steak is the definition of comfort food, featuring tender chunks of round steak slow-braised until they melt in your mouth. The savory tomato gravy, enriched with Worcestershire sauce and aromatic vegetables, clings perfectly to the meat, creating a deeply satisfying dish. Ideal for chilly evenings or hearty family dinners, this recipe transforms an affordable cut of beef into a gourmet experience. It pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread to soak up every drop of the flavorful sauce. Simple to prepare yet full of robust, home-cooked flavor, this classic Southern-style meal is sure to become a weekly staple in your kitchen.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  2. Dredge beef pieces in the flour mixture, coating evenly, and set aside.
  3. Heat Brummel and Brummel in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sauté chopped onion and celery in the skillet for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Add the dredged beef to the skillet and brown on both sides.
  6. Stir in the stewed tomatoes (including their liquid) and Worcestershire sauce.
  7. Bring to a simmer, then cover the skillet.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 60 to 90 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
  9. Check occasionally; add a splash of water if the gravy becomes too thick.

Note

Serve this hearty dish over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious gravy.

For a richer flavor, you can marinate the beef in the Worcestershire sauce for a few hours before cooking.

If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the simmering sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often improve the next day.

Round steak is a lean cut that benefits from long, slow cooking to break down connective tissue, resulting in tender meat.
