Swiss Steak

Swiss steak is a popular American dish consisting of a round or rump steak that has been swissed, which is a technique of tenderizing the meat by pounding it. The steak is usually braised in a tomato or chile sauce, although there are numerous variations on the dish. It is often served with mashed potatoes and gravy on the side. Because of its affordable price, Swiss steak is a staple of all-you-can-eat buffets or school and hospital cafeterias.
