That's what my mother called it. She used round steak, cut into
serving-sized pieces and pounded flat with a meat mallet. I'm using
individual cubed steaks. Either way, it requires dredging the meat in
seasoned flour, browning in a scant bit of oil, then a long, slow simmer
(covered) on the stovetop in beef stock with bay leaves, herbs & spices
until the meat is very tender. Thicken the liquid with a simple
cornstarch slurry to make a gravy. I'll be making mashed potatoes to go
with it. The vegetable side is yet to be determined.

Swiss steak was one of the dishes I made when I was a kid. Round steak
was used too. It was pretty much regular Swiss steak with tomatoes. The
sauce never needed to be thickened because of the flour used to coat the
meat. Why is it called spicy Swiss steak?
