Since the goulash subject came up, it reminded me of another staple in the olden days for my family: Swiss Steak!
As a very young cook, it was my first specialty dish. It was a big ole round steak, pounded out a little with the meat mallet, dredged in flour, salt and lots of pepper and browned in a little corn oil (back then that was what we used). Then you put sliced onion and green bell pepper strips in and cooked them a bit, turned the temp down and put a can of diced tomatoes over it and put the lid on and let it simmer until cooked and tender. I think we took the lid off after awhile to let the liquid cook down some.
It was ALWAYS made in our harvest gold, non-stick, electric fry pan! LOL!!! I guess because it was big enough for that big old steak! I LOVED that dish and haven't made it in years!

I used to make it just that way for my family and we loved it. I also haven't made it in years. I also used to use what was called chopped steak to make it.
Think I will have to make it again soon. Thank you for the reminder.

Oh, that's one of my favorites. I haven't made it in a long time. My family loved it. I would make a lot of tomato gravy and make a batch of mashed potatoes with it. Yum!

I cut the steak into serving sizes and sub picante sauce for tomatoes. Best of all, I make it in crockpot.

Now this is something I love, unfortunately hubby does not. Sometimes I make it when he's out of town and freeze portions for myself for lunch.

I'm going to declare ""Swiss Steak Day"" at my house soon. The more I think about this the more I want some!

I used to love it also. I made mine in a big speckled dark blue roaster with lid. Mine was rubbed with garlic before pounding the flour into it. I was thinking recently I should try once again. I remember the flour flying everywhere during the pounding, lol.

I haven't made this in ages but I used to love it. All I really remember was using pounded out round steak, dredged, and I remember the stewed tomatoes.
I cooked it in my 1969 Presto Pressure Cooker. Since it was a stove-top pressure cooker back then, you could do your browning in the pan before adding the rest of the stuff and pressurizing it.
I think it went down with mashers.
