I Tried My Grandmother’s Swiss Steak Recipe | Allrecipes

Join Nicole as she dives into her grandmother’s 1940s cookbook to recreate a classic recipe: Swiss Steak, also known as Smothered Steak. You might be wondering—does Swiss steak actually come from Switzerland? The answer is no! “Swiss” in this case refers to the technique of “swissing” the meat, which involves tenderizing tougher cuts like a rump roast.

Nicole follows her grandmother’s original recipe, which simmers the beef in a delicious sauce made with tomatoes, bell peppers, and mushrooms. It’s comfort food at its finest—tender, savory, and full of flavor!

Watch as Nicole explores this retro recipe, sharing tips and tricks along the way, and discovers how this classic dish became a family favorite. If you’re looking for a hearty, nostalgic meal that’s sure to impress, this Swiss (smothered) steak recipe is the one to try!
