country-style swiss steak
I got this recipe a long time ago off of a recipe card that was posted by the McCormick spices in the grocery store. It was titled Country Swiss Steak, but I find most Swiss steak has tomatoes and this one is just a delicious gravy the meat is cooked in. It is great served with mashed potatoes. I make this recipe a lot and I still love it after all these years. As a matter of fact, I just put the meat to defrost for dinner! Also, mine doesn't turn out looking like the picture on the recipe card but it tastes great. I will post a picture of mine when it gets done tonight.

How To Make country-style swiss steak
-
Step 1Mix 3 tablespoons of dry soup mix with flour, mustard, Season-All and pepper; pound into steak pieces. In heavy skillet brown meat on both sides in hot shortening. -
Step 2Add the rest of the dry soup mix, the remaining flour mixture and remaining ingredients in recipe. Cover, bring to a boil. Add water if you find the gravy becoming too thick from the flour mixture. Reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until tender, adding water as needed to keep the gravy a good consistency.

Step 3Remove bay leaf before serving. If desired, garnish with pimento. Serve with the gravy poured over hot, buttery mashed potatoes, that is my favorite way!
