Directions:Preheat your oven to 325°F. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and granulated garlic in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the steak to the flour mixture pieces a few at a time, shaking gently to coat evenly. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy oven-safe pot or cast-iron Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown steaks on both sides until a nice crust forms, then transfer them to a plate.
Lower heat to medium, then add onion, celery, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the same pot. Sauté vegetables for 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they soften. Add a little more oil if necessary. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, sugar, and celery seed into the pot. Stir gently, scraping the flavorful browned bits from the bottom. Return browned steaks to the pot, ensuring they’re fully submerged in the sauce.
Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 1˝ to 2 hours, until the meat is fork-tender. Once done, carefully remove the pot from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate, leaving the gravy in the pot.
Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the gravy. Place the pot back onto the stovetop and bring the gravy to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
Serve steaks generously topped with gravy alongside mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or cooked white rice.
