Country Swiss Steak
List of Ingredients
The Swiss don't actually make Swiss Steak. The recipe name is believed to be English and likely comes from relating the process of smoothing out cloth between rollers called "swissing" to pounding and flattening of the meat, a step we've skipped in this crocker cooker version.
1 pound boneless beef round steak, cut 1 inch thick
4 ounces spicy fresh bratwurst or other sausage, cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 14-1/2-ounce can chunky tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, and spices
2 cups hot cooked noodles or rice
Fresh thyme sprigs (optional) Recipe
Trim fat from meat. Cut meat into 4 serving-size pieces. Brown meat and sausge in hot oil in a skillet. In a 3 1/2 or 4-quart crock pot place onion. Sprinkle with thyme, tapioca, salt, and pepper. Pour undrained tomatoes over vegetables. Add meat. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours. Serve with noodles or rice. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
