Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 sticks celery, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak, and cut it into 4-6 serving-sized portions.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, coating thoroughly, and shake off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the coated steak pieces in batches, searing for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the browned steak pieces and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Return the browned steak pieces to the pot, nestling them among the vegetables.
Add the canned diced tomatoes with their juices, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 2 hours, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking. The steak should become very tender and the flavors should meld together.
After 2 hours, discard the bay leaf. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the steak and sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
