Organic Grass Fed Swiss Steak Recipe

Fork Tender Organic Swiss Steak Recipe

It has taken me 2 quarter sides of beef to figure out how to cook my grass fed beef, but I have finally figured it out! As most of you know, I buy my meat locally from a farmer and it is 100% grass fed. Why grass fed? Grass fed – Cows, Sheep, buffalo were designed to eat grass. However, today’s ranchers have been feeding them grains to make them fat and sell more meat. These animals were not built to eat grains and therefore quickly get sick. They are then given a constant dose of antibiotics and the quality of the protein in their meat quickly declines. You are what you eat! Ask yourself this question. If the ranchers are feeding these animals grains to fatten them up, and we eat the grain fed beef, wouldn’t we have the same effect? You can visit The Weston A. Price Foundation to see where to buy grass fed meat in your area.

 

Grass fed meat is much leaner and often times people find it to be a little gamey. Through much experimentation, I have figured out how to cook grass fed beef so it isn’t gamey or tough. The cut of meat I am using in this recipe is round steak. Round steak can be tough if not cooked properly. In order to cook this, you need to stew it and cook it low and slow. When you cook it slowly, the meat becomes fork tender and absolutely wonderful. I am using a crock pot for this recipe however if you do not have a crock pot, you can easily use a dutch oven and cook this dish in a 200° F oven for 8-10 hours. So head on out and get yourself some grass fed meat! I think you all are really going to enjoy this recipe!

    this sounds yummy, too! I will try with a different cut of meat if I can’t get this cut. my kosher butcher carries hormone/abx free, but rarely grass-fed … :~(

    yummy… made something close to that last night – everything from the garden – except meat, of course – it was from a rancher friend… was very good 🙂

    I have some cube steak, which i think is basically malleted steak. Will that work the same?

    I don’t have the potato starch. What could I use to substitute? I have coconut and almond flour on hand along with arrowroot powder. Would any of those work?
    Thanks!

      I use white flour.
      I have been making it very similar to your recipe for years.
      I bake mine in the oven for 2-3 hours at 350.
      I do the poundng, seasoning and all the other.

      Starches or flours of your choice work well to cost the meat.
