Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Cut the round steak into 4-6 portions and tenderize each piece using a meat mallet.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, coating both sides and shaking off excess.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Sear the steak pieces in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Mix well and bring to a simmer.

Step 9

Return the steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 10

Add the sliced carrots and celery on top of the steak.

Step 11

Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or aluminum foil.

Step 12

Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the steak is tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 13

Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
