Ingredient Qty. Unit
beef bottom round, trimmed of excess fat 2 Pounds
kosher salt 2 Teaspoons
freshly ground pepper 1 Teaspoons
all-purpose flour 3/4 Cups
olive oil (or bacon drippings) 1/4 Cups
large onion, thinly sliced 1 Each
cloves garlic, minced 2 Each
stalks celery, chopped 2 Each
barbecue sauce 2 Tablespoons
tomatoes, blended in a blender 5 Each
tomatoes, chopped 2 Each
smoked paprika 2 Teaspoons
dried oregano 1 Teaspoons
Worcestershire sauce 2 Teaspoons
beef broth 1 1/2 Cups
Directions
  1) Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  2) 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.
  3) Add enough of the bacon drippings or olive 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 the steaks have been browned.
  4) 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. Alternatively, you can cook it for 3 hours @ 290 degrees F.
  5) This can be done with pork loin as well.
