Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Trim excess fat from the steak and cut it into 4 equal portions. Pound the steak pieces with a meat mallet to tenderize them.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steaks and set them aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the sliced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and slightly golden.

Step 6

Stir in the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they release their moisture and become tender.

Step 7

Add the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Return the steak pieces to the skillet, submerging them in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the steak is fork-tender.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the steaks. Return the skillet to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 5 minutes, just enough to melt the cheese.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or steamed vegetables.
