Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round steak
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
• 1 medium celery stalk, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 whole bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into portion-sized pieces.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Dredge each piece of beef in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Brown the beef pieces in batches, ensuring each side gets a deep, golden-brown crust. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the onion, green bell pepper, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes or until they soften slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, and bay leaf. Mix well to combine.

Step 9

Return the browned beef to the skillet, nestling the pieces into the sauce and vegetables.

Step 10

Bring the mixture to a simmer on the stovetop, then cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 1.5-2 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily cut with a fork.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the oven and discard the bay leaf.

Step 13

Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and enjoy!
