Instructions: How to Cook Swiss Steak With Brown Gravy

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the round steak in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the steak on both sides, then transfer to a baking dish.
4. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and paprika. Bring to a simmer.
5. Pour the tomato mixture over the steak in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until the steak is tender.
6. Remove the steak from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Keep warm.
7. In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the tomato mixture in the baking dish. Cook over medium heat until the gravy thickens.
8. Serve the Swiss steak with the brown gravy spooned over the top. Enjoy with mashed potatoes or rice.
