Swiss Steak
I love Swiss Steak served over a hot bed of rice, with a green salad on the side. I used to cook this all day in the crock pot, because I like the meat to be very tender and falling apart into pieces. But I have found that my solar oven can cook this delicious meal just as good, and even faster than my crock pot.
I start with a tender cut of beef. I usually use small sirloin roasts, because it is usually cheaper and definitely more tender than round steak. On this day, I was making a double recipe, so I used about two pounds of sirloin, cut into cubes.

Then I added two 15 oz cans of diced tomatoes with chilies. Then I added two packets of onion soup mix for seasoning.

This cooked in the solar oven about 5 hours. When done, the meat was falling apart and there was plenty of sauce to pour over a bed of rice. Yummy!

I’m cooking this on the next sunny day! Can you cook the rice in the solar oven at the same time?
Yes, rice can be cooked in the solar oven, but it needs to be watched so it doesn’t get mushy. Thanks for stopping by.
