This Slow Cooker Smothered Swiss Steak with tomatoes (smothered steak) is the ultimate comfort food and dump and go recipe! It requires no pre-cooking and is economical.
Spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Add steak to bottom of slow cooker.
3 lbs round steak, chuck steak or blade steak
Add diced tomatoes, garlic, chopped onion, green pepper and mushrooms
28 oz -can of diced tomatoes, 1 ½ teaspoon minced garlic, 1 diced onion, 10 oz can of mushrooms, 1 whole green pepper, chopped
Cook for 8 hours on low heat or until meat is tender.
When done, if you want the sauce thicker (which you likely will) mix cornstarch with cold water (to make a cornstarch slurry) and cook for 20 minutes on high.Or you can add a little tomato paste to thicken it!
2 tablespoon cornstarch (and enough water to make a slurry)
Serve over rice (I use brown minute rice), cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
