Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
• 1.5 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into 4-6 pieces.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces for about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add sliced onions and green bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

Return the steak to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Add the carrots and celery around the steak pieces.

Step 7

Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer gently for 1.5-2 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender. Stir occasionally and check to make sure the sauce does not dry out. Add a splash of beef broth if needed.

Step 8

Once the steak is tender, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the Swiss steak hot, topped with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce.
