Posting for ZWT III. This is a recipe posted on allrecipes.com. It was submitted by Helene. Her statement is as follows: "My mother has been making this Swiss steak for years. It is wonderful, and can be made either on the stove top or -- when you don't have a lot of time but want a hearty meal ready when you come home -- in the crock pot. Serve over a bed of egg noodles or rice with a hunk of thick crusty bread."
