Reviews forEasy Swiss Steak

"Really liked this recipe. It was very easy to make and turned out well. Looking forward to eating the leftovers."
"delicious and very easy"
"Very tasty. My daughter, who dislikes most red meat, is a big fan of this dish. I brown the steaks & then place everything in the slow cooker for about 3 hours on high--I use my slow cookers whenever possible . It always turns out moist & tender."
"This recipe is different from what my husband and I remember from our childhoods, but we really enjoyed it. I seem to remember my mom's Swiss steak to have a brown gravy rather than a tomato based gravy. But this recipe is delicious and probably much healthier."
"My husband told me it was one of the most tender cuts of steak he'd even eaten. My daughter isn't a big red meat fan and she even liked it. Really hearty and delicious. Will definitely make again!"
"This recipe was delicious and very easy to make. I used a larger amount of steak (about 6 pieces) but the same amount of the other ingredients. there wasn't any need to thicken the sauce. it was thick and delicious with baked potatoes. I'll definitely serve it again."
"I made this exact same recipe in my crockpot and it was excelent. I just browned the steaks and then put everything in a crockpot on high for 3 hours. I think you could substitute beef broth in this...I would use a cup. Next time I make this I might add more of the cornstarch mixture to make the sauce a little thicker."
"easy to make and very tasty. I added cut up carrots along with the onions and celery and garlic. My husband says it's almost exactly like the swiss steak we used to get at a favorite restaurant in town."
"Can beef broth be substituted for the bouillon? If so what would the amount be?"
