Swiss Steak

My Mom used to make this for us as kids. There's something very comforting about it. It's flavor and texture make it unlike most of the things I cook, so when I crave it, there is no substitute. I like it served over lightly buttered egg noodles, but I'm sure you could use rice or some other starch too.
