Prepare to indulge in a dish that’s sure to bring a smile to your loved ones—Husband’s Happiness Slow Cooker Swiss Steak. This easy-to-make, flavorful recipe combines tender beef, savory mushrooms, and a rich, creamy sauce that simmers to perfection in your slow cooker. Perfect for busy days or cozy evenings, this comfort food is a crowd-pleaser that pairs beautifully with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite sides.
Start by heating 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef steaks generously with salt and pepper, then brown them on both sides until caramelized. Transfer the steaks to your slow cooker, allowing them to rest while you build the flavors.
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and sauté the sliced onions and thinly sliced mushrooms until they’re tender and golden. Stir in minced fresh thyme and mild paprika, cooking for an additional minute to release their aromatic essence. Transfer this fragrant mixture to the slow cooker, layering it over the steaks.
In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, dry sherry, and all-purpose flour until smooth. Pour this liquid gold over the beef and mushrooms in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened. Once done, remove the steaks and stir in heavy cream and chopped fresh parsley into the sauce. Return the steaks to the slow cooker, coating them generously in the luscious sauce, and cook for an additional 10 minutes on low heat.
Serve this Slow Cooker Swiss Steak hot, garnished with extra parsley, alongside your favorite sides. Whether it’s a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish is guaranteed to bring happiness to your table. Enjoy!
