On today’s menu is Swiss Steak over Mashed Potatoes oh my…
This fabulous stew is something mah momma made way back in the day. It’s a humble dish, made with common, inexpensive ingredients. This is comfort grub to the MAX, people! Since the nicest of the nice weather is 94% gone for good here in Portland, I’m already diving head first into the heartier recipes starting with this bad boy.
Swiss Steak is pretty similar to my Irish Beef Stew and my Slow Cooked Tri Tips & Gravy, except it has a tomato based sauce with the meat and veggies. Now, at this point, you might think that a tomato based gravy on top of mashed potatoes doesn’t work very well together, but I’m here to tell you that you are WRONG! Oh so wrong!! This gorgeousness on a plate will have you salivating for more before you finish your first helping.
It’s an Ernhofer family favorite for a reason 🙂 No one hates it!
If you purchased my ebook, then this recipe probably looks familiar to you because it’s included in the collection. Maybe you’ve made it already once or twice?! How cool would that be?
For those of you who might be newer to my site, last year I worked on an e-cookbook called ‘Everyday Ingredients Extraordinary Meals’! It’s just a small book of 30 original recipes put together in a beautiful way. 95% of the recipes in the book are brand new, meaning you can’t find them on my blog. Click here to order an e-version to your inbox and/or get a hard copy and/or get all the details.
Since I haven’t been doing a very good job at promoting my book {since it came out literally on the day I gave birth to my son}, I thought I would showcase a recipe from it today to refresh your memories 🙂
Anyways, moral of the story: get my ebook and make some Swiss Steak. Your tummies will thank you!! Also, don’t plan major events around a baby’s due date. Lesson learned, universe!
Have a great day, friends 🙂

Summer Vegetable Stew with Barley
I haven’t tried it yet, but the Swiss Steak from my earlier years was Round Steak, tenderized by hand as you added flour into it. Then it was browned in a cast iron Dutch Oven, tomatoes added, along with vegetables and whatever else you wanted. It was then cooked covered in the oven until tender. When done it was served with mashed potatoes. Anyone remember this as Swiss Steak?
