Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Dredge the pieces of meat on both sides in the flour mixture. Tenderize the meat using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Dredge the slices on both sides once more and set aside.
- Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
- Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Cover the pot and place it in the oven on the middle rack. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.
WHITE HOUSE SWISS STEAK
This recipe is said to have been a favorite of former President Lyndon B. Johnson. It is from Lone Star Legacy II, a cookbook by the Austin Junior Forum. My family likes this recipe because the vegetable juice is not as over-powering as canned tomatoes.

Tips:

- Pound the meat to tenderize it. This will help the marinade to penetrate the meat and will also help to reduce the cooking time.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give your Swiss steak its flavor, so be sure to use a marinade that you like. Some good options include a red wine marinade, a beer marinade, or a vinegar marinade.
- Braise the meat over low heat. This will help to tenderize the meat and will also allow the flavors of the marinade to develop.
- Serve the Swiss steak with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or egg noodles.
