Season both sides of the beef round steak with salt and black pepper.
Lightly dredge the seasoned steak pieces in the flour, coating evenly.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat and sear the steak pieces for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Do this in batches if necessary. Set aside.
Slice the onion, chop the green bell pepper, and dice the celery. Add these vegetables to the bottom of your crock pot as the base layer.
Place the seared steak pieces on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the tomato mixture over the steak and vegetables in the crock pot, ensuring everything is well coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender.
Stir gently before serving to combine the flavors. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles for a complete meal.
