Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef round steak
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 large carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

2. Trim excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into 4 equal pieces.

Step 3

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

Step 4

4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces in batches and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

5. Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the onion, carrots, celery, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 6

6. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

7. Add the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and paprika to the skillet. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

8. Return the seared steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetable mixture. Ensure the steak is mostly submerged in the liquid.

Step 9

9. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is tender and easily breaks apart with a fork.

Step 10

10. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 11

11. Serve the Swiss steak warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair it with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
