According to the Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink; the term swissing does not come from Switzerland but is in fact an English term. Swissing is a method of smoothing out cloth between a set of rollers. Swiss steak is normally pounded flat before cooking. The recipe first appeared in print in 1915.
In England, this dish is referred to as "smothered steak".
