Pineapple Swiss Steak image

A recipe from my Great Aunt Alta's collection. This is one she clipped from the Chicago Tribune and it had won the "$5 Favorite Recipe Prize," a weekly feature in the newspaper. I am not sure if she ever made this one or not, but I thought it sounded good enough to share. These days, I would use a few spoonfuls of olive oil to brown the steak instead of the bacon drippings originally called for.
