Very easy to make. Very very tender. My whole family loved it so much.

This is the first recipe I have tried from here and thought it was wonderful! Easy to make and tasty. What a great first impression. Perfect for a chilly fall night..

So tasty! I did make a few changes though. I didn't use the tomato sauce as listed but used 1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes. I also put some oregano, garlic powder, 4 cloves of garlic and black pepper in it to give more flavour and used 2 steaks. What a nice meal to come home to! The potatoes and carrots weren't mushy at all and were cooked perfectly!

I'm not rating this recipe, because I can't rate it fairly, and I want to add my variations, which are pretty few. I was lazy not to have taken the time to say "make the potatoes separately", add some Worcestershire, try cubed steak. This recipe, in itself, is great, and I hope those who try it will love it. So much to love! Swiss Steak is a super delicious recipe, and particularly easy when cooked in the crock pot or slow cooker, or whatever you want to call it. The first time I had slow cooker swiss steak was 30 years, when a friend made it, and it only included tomato juice, some s&p, and some sugar. It was great back then and I'm sure I'd love it now. But I love the changes and additions I've seen since then, which I have incorporated in the way I make it now. I'll brown my floured cube steak in oil. I'll add sliced onions on the bottom of my crock pot. I'll put the the browned cube steaks on top. ( guess those tiny carrots might be good too!) I'll mix some diced (fire roasted) tomatoes, mixed with a small can of tomato sauce and some Worcestershire sauce, then pour over the steak and onions. I'll cook on low in the crockpot for 7-8 hours, and serve over mashed potatoes. I cook on the fly, and incorporate all the good things I find in my search for recipes. This is a great recipe, and I'd have to recommend it to anyone as a great starting place for Swiss Steak!

I thought this was ok but needed more flavor. I added some Italian Seasoning right before serving and it made a HUGE difference.
