My dad cooked a lot of good down home comfort foods when I was growing up. Swiss steak was always one of my favorites. Dad usually cooked the steak in a big old cast iron skillet,
I updated Dad’s version with this delicious and super easy slow cooker meal. I hope you like it!
p.s. check out this stew recipe that uses up the leftovers (if there are any)!

Comfort food for a cool day.
Ingredients
- 1 – 2 lbs Top Round Sirloin
- 3 medium green peppers, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced thin
- 29 oz can Whole tomatoes, chopped
- pinch each of salt & pepper, or to taste
- 1 + 1/2 c water
- 1 Tbs cornstarch
Instructions
- Into a 5 quart crockpot place the steak. Cover with green peppers and onion.
- Dump the large can of whole tomatoes on top and use a knife or your fingers to break the tomatoes apart.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour 1 cup of water over all.
- Place lid on pot and cook on high for 6 hours, until the meat is falling apart and veggies are tender.
- Mix cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water. With a pot holder, tilt the crock pot so that the juices gather towards one end of the pot. Pour in the cornstarch mixture while gently stirring with a fork. Allow to cook for 15 minutes more without the cover on.
- You have to serve these with real mashed potatoes and plenty of butter! Don’t forget the fresh bread to dunk into the tomato gravy. Mmm!

That looks absolutely mouth-watering! In fact I think I might have to get a slow cooker as the tender meat really makes this type of dish.
