• Preheat the oven to 325 F.
• Slice the meat 1/2-inch thick with the grain and season with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
• Fill a pie pan with the flour.
• Dredge both sides of the slices of meat in the flour until coated.
• Use a needle meat tenderizer to tenderize the meat until each slice is 1/4-inch thick.
• Put the slices aside and dredge them with the flour again until coated on both sides.
• Set a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat with the vegetable oil or bacon drippings.
• Add the steaks to the Dutch oven once the oil begins to shimmer, being careful not to crowd the Dutch oven.
• Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Once all the steaks have been browned, remove them to a plate.
• After removing the last steaks from the pot, add the onions, garlic, and celery, and cook them for 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cut the Swiss steak to ½ inch thick, preferably along with the grain. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper generously. Dredge the steak with flour, making sure it gets everywhere evenly.
• If you have to tenderize the meat, use a tenderizing mallet manually. If you happened to buy it already tenderized, it's time to sear the meat on high heat for a few short minutes to keep in the moisture.
• Take an iron skillet or pan, add some butter or olive oil, and sear each side on high heat for 1-2 minutes.
• If you prefer to use butter, it's best to brown it before adding it to the meat to sear it. Brown butter caramelizes meats, adding so much depth of flavor. Set the slices aside on a plate.
• Add the diced onions, garlic, celery, and the remaining butter and olive oil. Glaze them in the fat until they are shiny and slightly soft, over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
• Now it's time to add the tomato paste, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, broth, and sundried tomatoes. Stir them well, and place the meat back into the pan, merging it with the mixture.
• Cover a baking pan with foil, and transfer the sauce-covered swiss steak to the pan.
• Place it in the middle of the preheated oven, covering it with foil. Bake it for an hour until the meat starts to fall apart.
• Serve it with your favorite side dishes.
