Swiss steak

This looks really involved but I promise it is not that bad and you will TOTALLY LOVE IT!

What you need:
2 pounds of tenderized round steak
1 large onion - thinly sliced
2 stalks of celery - diced
3 cloves are garlic - diced
1 large can of diced tomatoes
2 Tablespoons of tomato paste
2 Tablespoons of Worcestershire
2 tsp. paprika
2 tsp. oregano
2 C. beef broth
2 C of flour - or enough to dredge your beef in.
salt and pepper to taste

I used tenderized round steak - you will need 2 - 3 pounds of meat. Cut it into 4 oz. servings so it cooks even and gets really tender.
Take the meat -salt and pepper each side then dredge it in flour on both sides.

In a dutch oven - coat the bottom with veg. oil and heat to medium high heat. When the oil starts to sizzle - start cooking your meat - don't crowd the dish. After your first few pieces are done - set them on a plate and cook the meat until it is all cooked.

In the same pot - add one onion thinly slices, 3 cloves are garlic diced and 2 stalks of celery. saute this for about 2 -3 minutes.

Add 2 Tablespoons of Tomato paste until it is all blended.

Add 1 large can of diced tomatoes (I think it is 28 oz). 2 tsp. of oregano, 2 tsp. of paprika, and 2 Tablespoons of Worcestershire, and 2 Cups of beef broth. Add the meat back into the pot after you stir everything together. If it does not cover the meat add a little more beef broth.

Put in a pre-heated 325 degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

I serve this with mashed potatoes and green beans.
