💭 Things to know

These tips will help you to have the best Swiss steak ever!

• It's important to start with a good recipe. This Crock Pot Swiss Steak is my favorite because it's easy, quick to prep, and has tangy jalapenos.
• Feel free to use any inexpensive cut of meat you prefer. Chuck steak, cube steak—get creative and make a version with ground beef!
• Don't use tender steak cuts. It might sound weird, but the acid in the tomatoes and the slow-cooking process will turn them to mush.
• Pounding steak with a mallet helps tenderize tougher cuts of meat.
• If you don't have a meat-tenderizing mallet, use a rolling pin to whack it!
• Consider serving side dishes that go well with tomatoes and beef—both flavor-wise and something to scoop up the rich sauce!
• If your leftover meat runs out, add some beef broth to the remaining sauce—it makes a great vegetable soup base!
• Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to three months. Easy, delicious freezer food whenever you're craving it!
