I love swiss steak but hate using a large glass pan so I decided to see if I could adapt my recipe for cast iron skillet use.

The Original Recipe And My Adaption
The original recipe was given to me by my grandmother in the late 1980’s, for this recipe instead of making my own gravy I bought a package of Southeastern Mills Roast Beef Gravy Mix.
The recipe turned out great – and using the packaged gravy was a lot easier than mixing flour and water then adding it to the pan during the last ten minutes of cooking.
Here is my recipe:
