Baked Venison Swiss Steaks

When I set out to recreate various classic North American beef recipes with venison in the last couple weeks Baked Venison Swiss Steaks made the list. While Swiss Steak wasn’t one I grew up with, it was one people have asked me about, so I decided to try it. We love it!! How have I never made it before!? As usual, I stripped this down to a bare bones recipe that won’t sacrifice flavour, but won’t eat up unnecessary time either. Nothing is more frustrating that seeing a recipe you want to make, only to discover that it’s actually got a bazillion ingredients and weird steps. Nothing makes me close a browser or flip a page faster than that.

I chose to bake these Venison Swiss Steaks, because I wanted the flavour that went along with slow baking and the natural sugars carmemalizing. I’m sure you could make this in a crockpot, on low all day. If you do use this recipe like that, let me know! Otherwise I may have to try it out myself and see.

I served Venison Swiss Steaks over rice. With no extra vegetables. Because that's just how our day went. I was so glad I made this the day before and tucked it in the fridge, as I’m not sure what I would have done for dinner otherwise! Marius asked me to make it again, and he thinks serving it over mashed potatoes would be delicious! Last night he also asked if I could add Chicken Fried Venison Steaks to the meal plan…with mashed potatoes as well. I’m sensing a theme here? Steak+Mashed potatoes is definitely the way to my husband's heart!

Baked Venison Swiss Steaks is a twist on the classic North American beef recipes. We love it!! Especially now that I have paired down some of the excessive ingredients without compromising on the delicious flavor.
