Place the beef round steak on a cutting board and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the steak to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Dredge the steak in all-purpose flour, making sure it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sautΓ© for 4-5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the beef broth and tomato paste, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.
Return the seared steak to the skillet, ensuring it is submerged in the sauce. Sprinkle with paprika.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the steak simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Once the steak is tender, stir in the Danish sour cream until fully combined. Let it heat through for 5 minutes without boiling to prevent curdling.
Serve the Swiss steak over cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley for a final touch.
