Swiss Steak Burgundy is a cross between Swiss Steak and Beef Burgundy. It is super good.
Swiss Steak Burgundy is terrific over rotini.
Swiss Steak Burgundy marries two recipes.
If you know what to combine in a recipe, you can make an amazing dinner even if you don't have most of the ingredients (patting myself on the back now).
You see, I wanted to make Swiss Steak. The Joy of Cooking (one of Don's and my all-time favorite cookbooks) recipe called for carrots and celery, and suggested serving it over mashed potatoes. I had none of those ingredients, but our supper was delicious. I did have tomatoes, red wine, garlic, onions, and a few other ingredients. As you can see, I served it over rotini pasta, and that was a good choice.
I wouldn't exactly call it Swiss Steak; it's more like a Beef Burgundy, but it was very good!
