How To Make venison swiss steak

  • 1
    Prep your steaks. No fat or silver skin. (I enclosed a photo of small steaks for visual) Use an electric skillet for ease of use. Turn on at 350 degrees. Add butter crisco. Just enough to cover bottom of pan.
  • 2
    Flour both sides of steaks and place in skillet. Add your seasonings of salt, pepper & garlic powder to taste and brown one side.
  • 3
    Turn over steaks and add chopped onion. Brown the other side. If you need more grease, add butter. Add tomatos, tomato sauce & worcestershire sauce. Stir and bring to a boil. Add more seasoning if needed. After it starts boiling, turn down skillet to simmer (200 degrees)and simmer for 2 hours. (More or less depending on the size steak. Cover. Add water as needed. Stir once in a while. Check to make sure that the meat is not sticking to bottom of pan. Test for tenderness. Meat should cut very easily.

    Serve over noodles or potatoes. I like a spoonful of sourcream on my swiss steak.
