Ingredients

• 4 pieces beef round steaks (about 1-inch thick)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoons dried tarragon
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil to the heated skillet and sear the steaks until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the steaks and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until softened, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to enhance its flavor.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Add the dried tarragon, carrots, and celery to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Step 9

Return the steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and vegetables.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours, or until the steaks are fork-tender, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 12

Serve the Tarragon Swiss Steaks warm, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
