Want a flavorful meal that is quick enough you can throw it together before rushing out the door in the morning? I’ve got you covered with this Slow Cooker Swiss Steak from Gooseberry Patch’s Super Fast Slow Cooking.
Aunt Lou here.
I am quite the picky eater. I am married to a man who will eat just about anything though…except for peas. He almost has a phobia about peas. Anytime he gives me a hard time about not liking a certain food, I threaten to make him Tuna Casserole with extra peas for a month and he leaves me alone. 😉
I love tomato soup and ketchup and tomato flavor, but have a hard time with eating an actual tomato at times. But I threw caution to the wind and decided to give this Slow Cooker Swiss Steak a try. (Adventurous aren’t I?) And this recipe was definitely worth the try. The steak was wonderfully tender and the flavor of the onion and tomatoes came together perfectly. This Slow Cooker Swiss Steak is a dump and go recipe, so this will be short and sweet.
Don’t you just love a recipe that is this easy?! This would also be a great recipe for kids to help with when adding the ingredients. They are already measured out and can just be poured on. It is a help for you and a memory the child in your life will always cherish. Win win!

Super easy, super good.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this as much as we do!
Will this work doubled?
I haven’t tried doubling this, but think it could work. Make sure you watch it closely the first time you make it so you can adjust the cooking time as needed. Enjoy!
Hi! I haven’t made it yet, BUT will it make the round steak tender?
Or should I use a different cut of beef?
The best way to make it super tender it to cook it on low for the longer period of time. If it isn’t tender yet, give it a little longer and check again. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
Hi, I just wanted to share. I’ve made this Swiss steak recipe twice. The first time I made it exactly as the recipe instructed. I loved it. It reminded me of my mom’s Swiss steak from my childhood. The only thing missing from memory was my mom always put green pepper and hers. So the second time, I had to diced up some green pepper and added it to the top and cooked according to your instructions. It turned out perfect. It’s so easy and good. I know my Mom put a lot of time and hard work into her but this a very EASY version. Thank you, it’s funny how good food connects you to good memories.
That makes me so happy Phyllis! I love hearing stories like yours. Thank you so much for taking the time to share. We will have to try this recipe your mom’s way!
I made this today and it was really good! With only a few ingredients, you can’t beat it.
I followed the recipe exactly. I will be making this again.
I’m so glad to hear it Angie! We just love hearing stories like this from our readers! Thank you for taking the time to brighten my day!

Can you cook this in a pressure cooker?
HI Jennifer!
In order to make this in an electric pressure cooker, you would need to add liquid to the recipe. In general, a 6-quart electric pressure cooker needs at least a cup of liquid to come to pressure. I have not made this recipe in an electric pressure cooker yet, but if you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
