Growing up, my mom used to make this meal about once a week.  It was baked steak covered in a tomato gravy with potatoes, carrots, onion and celery in a big baking pan.  

This was one of my favorite meals.  I'd love to replicate this dish, but I don't know what it's technically called in order to look up a recipe and my mom can't remember.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance 😊❤️

Swiss steak?

[Zhills]

Do you remember what type pan she cooked it in?  Dutch oven or open roaster?

We called this Swiss steak when I was a kid.  I haven't thought of it in many years.  I just may have to look up a current recipe.

@Zhills   It was a big open roaster, but she put it in a cooking bag.

@poco09 & @NYLinda   I think that might be what it is, Swiss Steak!  Bless you all for remembering!  I knew it wasn't Salisbury and that's all I could seem to find searching!  I used to love this meal so much!

Those 2 dishes are my very fave ones!!  I used to cook swiss steak in my crock pot when I had a family to cook for. Not sure if my 2 kids enjoyed it as much as the spouse and I did. And salisbury steak---I could eat that all day long!!

Mine too lol.  I could eat anything with tomatoes.  I'm gonna try and find a good recipe for Swiss steak.  I haven't had it in years.

I make mine in a slow cooker.  The lady at work didn't saute her meat before cooking it in the slow cooker, but I think browning it beforehand gives it a beefier flavor:

1/4 cup flour

1 1/2 lb round steak, cut into smaller pieces

3 tbsp vegetable oil

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped carrots

29-oz can diced tomatoes

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 packet onion soup mix

Dredge steak pieces in flour in a pie dish.

Saute celery, onion, and carrots in hot oil until tender.  Add beef and saute for 5 minutes to brown.

Put everything in slow cooker.  Stir in tomatoes, brown sugar,  Worcestershire sauce, and soup mix.

Cook on Low until steak is tender, 8-10 hours.

We used a good sized what used to be a round steak, gave it a few whacks sometimes with the meat pounder and lightly floured it, with salt and pepper added then browned in an electric skilled with less than a T. of oil.

then we added slices of onion and bell pepper, sauteed them a minute or so, poured in a can of diced tomatoes or stewed tomatoes or whatever we had, and let it simmer until done. Sometimes we added garlic powder and Italian Seasoning.

@deepwaterdotter  &. @Sooner   Thank you both so very much for taking the time to post recipes.  I've been wanting to make this so badly, but couldn't remember what it was called lol.  😊❤️💕
