How to Make Savory Swiss Steak

  1. Cut 1.5 lbs round steak or cube steak into 6-8 serving-size pieces.
  2. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons dry mustard.
  4. Dredge each steak piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the steak pieces on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
  6. Transfer the browned steak to a slow cooker.
  7. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 medium carrots (peeled and grated), and 2 celery stalks (finely chopped) to the skillet.
  8. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly glazed, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
  10. Heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  11. Pour the vegetable mixture over the steak in the slow cooker.
  12. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the steak is incredibly tender.
  13. Serve the steak hot, generously ladled with the vegetable sauce.
  14. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley (optional).
