Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into serving-sized portions.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces in batches until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the seared steak pieces to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add a small amount of additional oil if needed and sauté the sliced onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer the vegetables to the slow cooker, layering them on top of the steak.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes (with juice), beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Stir until well mixed, then pour the mixture over the steak and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Add the bay leaf to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and discard. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the Swiss steak hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
