Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak (tenderized)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 stalks celery, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Trim the beef round steak of any excess fat and cut it into serving-sized portions.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides and shaking off excess flour.

Step 4

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Brown the steak on both sides, working in batches if necessary. Transfer the browned steak to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Using the same skillet, sauté the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic until just softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Pour the tomato and vegetable mixture over the steak in the baking dish, ensuring the steak is fully covered.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 11

Remove the Swiss steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
