When the weather is turning, and the cold winds are blowing...and snow is a comin.
To me it is time for good old comfort food.Along with stews and soups, what could be better than a SWISS STEAK recipe, with a surprise twist!
My recipe has an unusual because I added pineapple juice...that was left over from the HOLIDAY PINEAPPLE PIE, I baked last week.
Grandma taught me...
Waste not...Want not!! ..HA!
This really gives a great added flavor to this recipe.
Please enjoy!

How to Make SWISS STEAK,with a sweet surprise twist!

Step-by-Step

1With a fork, pierce steak at 1/2 inch intervals,
on both sides.
Cut into serving size portions.

In a large bowl, blend sesonings, tomatoes, water, pineapple juice.
Add steak, and refrigerate for for 1/2 hour.
Then remove steak, ...Save the liquid.
..celery, carrots, onions and mushrooms are added later.
2In a large skillet brown the drained steak,
in a little oil.
Add saved liquid, add celery, carrots,onions and mushrooms.
Bring to a low boil,reduce heat.
Cover and simmer 1 hour, or until steak is tender.
Turning occasionally.
If needed, add a little water.
I also added a dash of beef
browning liquid,for color.
3I serve this with mashed potatoes and green beans.
It is also great with rice.
Or noodles like my:
