Grandma’s Swiss Steak Recipe| My family refers to my Swiss Steak recipe as the one pot wonder (yes…I am the grandma in the title 🙂 ) . Why? Because of how incredibly delicious the recipe is with only a few ingredients. This tender steak is smothered with tomatoes, green bell pepper and onions. This wonderfully hearty dinner is perfect for a busy weeknight meal because it only take minutes to prepare!

While it does need to simmer for 30 to 40 minutes the true secret is the beef. I love using a tri tip. Trip tip is the cut from the bottom sirloin. With all the marbling it is one of my favorite cuts of beef and offers a ton of delicious flavor. Whenever I visit my parents this is one of the most requested recipes. So, I always make an effort to make it for them. Just like spaghetti it’s even better the next day!

Thanks for this recipe. Did you ever make it in a slow cooker, and if so, what temperature and how long?
