Venison Swiss Steak in Sour Cream

Submitted by Catnip46

"Can substitute any red meat. The directions call for baking in oven but I like to simmer most of my recipes on top of the stove for 2-3 hours. It is much easy to taste the meat to see if it's tender. I also like to add broccoli to this sometimes."
