The good? The steaks got very tender, fork tender, in fact. The sauce and vegetables were really good too. The "meh", however, was that the steaks were quite flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I lightly floured the steaks before browning them, after a light application of salt and pepper. My husband was underwhelmed, sad to say, and so was I, after such a long cooking time.

Very very good! I do the same recipe with a pot roast and it is always tender. I add a tablespoon of sugar to the mix and serve with piping hot mashed potatoes. Yum.

Wonderful oldfashioned Swiss Steak!! Gave it 4 stars because I did add a can of beef broth, browned the floured steak in EVO,in my Dutch oven, then added everything else and baked at 275 for about 3 hours--perfect!!! Did not have to thicken further. Served over mashed potatoes, and then made the whole thing into a Shepherd's Pie for another meal.

Great recipe -truly just like mom used to make! My husband loved it. I even made it for my mom and dad - they both thought it was just as good as mom's - and hers is pretty terrific!

I made this and loved it. I did not change a thing except I had frozen peppers and they worked wonderful.

I actually used this recipe as inspiration to clean out the fridge! Had cooked strip steak & grilled mushrooms leftover, as well as parts of onions & bell pepper, & even a small amount of homemade marinara which I used in place of the canned diced tomatoes. Served it over leftover pasta but I could definitely see it over mashed potatoes or rice also. Very good & flavorful comfort food. And as an added bonus I have a clean fridge too!

I tried this recipe as my husband loves swiss steak. It was delicious. I used a can of onion/green pepper petite-diced canned tomatoes, cut up some green pepper and onions and cooked them in the skillet after browning the beef. I added some water and a beef boullion cube and let the veggies simmer until done. I baked the swiss steak at 325 for 2 hours. It was tender and made a great gravy for my mashed potatoes.
