A delightful twist on the classic Swiss steak, this recipe combines tender beef with a creamy, tangy sauce, perfect for a comforting meal.
Coat the beef steak pieces in the flour, ensuring an even layer.
Shake off excess flour to avoid clumping during cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the floured beef pieces until browned on both sides.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the beef.
Place the seared beef into the slow cooker.
Arrange the beef in a single layer for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
Ensure the beef is fully covered by the sauce for optimal flavor.
Cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low and cook for an additional 3-4 hours.
Check occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn't dry out.
Stir in the sour cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Adding the sour cream at the end prevents it from curdling.
Serve the creamy Swiss steak over mashed potatoes or rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
