Swiss Style Braised Steak has always been popular with dieters, and brings together the flavors of beef, onion and tomato to produce a meal that the entire family will enjoy. The advantage of braising steak is that you can choose the less expensive cuts of beef. All beef has the same nutritional value, so if you learn to cook the cheaper cuts you are helping your budget.
