Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak, then cut it into 4-6 portions.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, coating all sides, and shake off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the steak on both sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the browned steak and set aside.

Step 4

Thinly slice the yellow onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion to the same skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Step 5

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

Return the steaks to the skillet, submerging them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is very tender.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Swiss steak hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles to soak up the rich gravy.
