Slow Cooker Swiss Steak and Onion

Delicious and easy Swiss steak recipe that will have you out of the kitchen in under 20 minutes. I love to pair this with egg noodles or rice, being sure to get a good spoonful of sauce along with the steak. Feel free to add celery, green pepper, carrots, or your favorite vegetable. My husband isn't a fan of celery or green pepper, so I keep my Swiss steak simple.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 2 pounds cube steak
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons ground paprika
• 1 onion, sliced thin
• 2 teaspoons ground thyme

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix flour, salt, mustard, and pepper together in a wide, shallow bowl.

Step 2

Dredge cube steaks in the flour mixture to coat completely.

Step 3

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a slow cooker, reserving drippings in the skillet.

Step 4

Saute onion and garlic in the reserved drippings in the skillet until softened, 2 to 3 minutes more; add to the slow cooker. Discard the oil.

Step 5

Stir beef broth and tomato paste together in a bowl until the paste dissolves into the broth; add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, and oregano. Pour the broth mixture over the steaks in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Cook on Low until the meat is tender to the point of falling apart, 6 to 8 hours.
