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.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality beef chuck roast. Look for a roast that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat.
- Be sure to brown the beef in a hot skillet before braising it. This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a good quality red wine for the braising liquid. A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will work well.
- Add plenty of vegetables to the braising liquid. This will help to add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
- Braising is a low and slow cooking method. Be patient and let the beef cook until it is fall-apart tender. This will take at least 2 hours, but it may take longer depending on the size of the roast.
- Serve Swiss steak with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. You can also serve it with a side of vegetables.
