Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by prepping the steak. Cut the 2-pound beef round steak into serving-sized pieces and use a meat tenderizer mallet to pound each piece to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine 0.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoons black pepper. Coat each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the steak pieces on both sides in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set the browned pieces aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the same skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes (with juices), 1 cup of beef broth, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, and 0.5 teaspoons paprika to the skillet. Stir well to combine the sauce ingredients.

Step 6

Return the browned steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 75-90 minutes, or until the steak is tender.

Step 7

Occasionally check the skillet and stir gently to prevent sticking. Add a splash of water or broth if the sauce becomes too thick during cooking.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding additional salt or Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavor.

Step 9

Once the steak is tender and the gravy is rich and flavorful, garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the Swiss steak hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles to soak up the delicious gravy. Enjoy this comforting dish with your family and friends!
