Preheat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Trim excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into serving-sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Coat the beef pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet. Add the floured beef pieces and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until browned. Work in batches if necessary, then transfer the meat to a plate.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch rounds. Slice the celery into similar-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
In the same skillet, add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, sliced carrots, and celery. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the browned beef to the skillet, submerging it slightly in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a complete and comforting meal.
