Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 t. salt, and 1/4 t. pepper; coat the steak with the mixture.
- In a large skillet, heat 4 T. of the oil over medium-high heat; add the steak and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through. (If your skillet is not large enough to cook all the steak at once, cook it in two batches, adding more oil if needed.) Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 T. of oil over medium-high heat and saute the celery and onion for about 5 minutes or until tender. Add the carrot slices, spaghetti sauce, and the remaining salt and pepper; mix well. Add the steak to the mixture, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
MELT IN YOUR MOUTH STEAK
This steak is very very delicious and juicy. My mother says I have spoiled her and swears it is better than the "Outback Steakhouse." If you like tender, juicy steak here it is. Prep time includes an hour for marinating. The longer the better!! If you want to decrease serving size it is not necessary to decrease amount of marinade.

Steps:
- Place thawed steak in a casserole dish fit to size of steaks.
- Sprinkle desired amount of meat tenderizer on one side of each steak and then, using a fork, fork the meat tenderizer into the steak very thoroughly (you cannot overdo it, the more the better!) Flip each steak over and repeat step 2 on other side of steak.
- Combine last seven ingredients in a separate bowl and microwave for 2 minutes.
- Pour mixture over steaks (the heated mixture helps the sugar dissolve and the meat soak the marinade up better but is not required).
- Marinate desired time however the longer the better.
- Put the steak on the grill and cook it how you like it.
- (I usually save the marinade and baste in while cooking, this keeps it extra juicy) Enjoy!

EXTREME MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH STEAKS
Not only are these these most delicious steaks they are so tender you can slice them with a butter knife! --- of coarse you may use any cut of steak desired, I prefer rib-eyes --- plan ahead the steaks needs to marinate for 6-24 hours and must be brought down to room temperature before cooking which may take a couple hours.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH STEAK
This wonderful and easy recipe was given by a friend who recommended using skirt steak; I have adapted it to work with any cut of steak, even a cheap chuck steak. In other words, it works whatever your budget is. Most of the work can be done in advance; just save the last 30 minutes of baking for before serving. I have been told that this reheats well, but we've never had enough leftover to know.... Using scallions here is the key to the recipe; do not substitute other onions. That said, you can use absolutely any type of barbecue sauce since they all work well.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH MARINADE
A wonderful marinade that makes even the toughest cuts of beef so tender you could cut them with a butter knife. Tastes great on pork chops and chicken, too. Play with the amounts of garlic and ginger to suit your taste. I tend to use more rather than less. Makes enough for four servings.

Tips:
- Use a good quality, thick cut of beef for the best results.
- Browning the beef in batches will help to prevent the meat from stewing and will give it a nice caramelized flavor.
- Be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for cooking the Swiss steak. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the meat from burning.
- Adding a little bit of Worcestershire sauce and red wine to the cooking liquid will help to give the Swiss steak a rich, savory flavor.
- Simmer the Swiss steak for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
- Serve the Swiss steak over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
