The Shriners' version is just regular Swiss steak cooked in grapefruit juice. Much less interesting (but probably just as disgusting if you ask me).

Funny Name: Not as Florida as I Thought Edition
The word "Florida" comes with a certain set of expectations, you know? So when I saw Shriners Parade of Recipes: Main Dish Edition Including Meats and Casseroles (1966), I kind of expected Florida Swiss Steak to be, oh, I don't know, an alligator that died of cirrhosis and was subsequently cut into steaks, flattened by having people in golf carts repeatedly run over the steaks, and then braised on the engine of a jet ski.

Oh darn, I can only find Texas grapefruit juice, I guess I can't make this.
ReplyDeleteToo bad! I'm sure you're crushed.
DeleteI believe there is some yodeling involved too, but the recipe writer assumed that readers already knew and didn't need to be told.
