Danish-Style Sour Cream Swiss Steak image

In Denmark, this dish is called Schweizersteg Med Surflde. The creamy sauce is delicious and helps to keep the beef moist and tender during cooking. Round steak can be a tough cut of beef, so cooking it slowly at a lower heat level is the key to tenderizing it. It's great with a side of potatoes, because the pan sauce is good...
