Dredge the pieces of mean on both sides in the flour. Tenderize the meat using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4" thick. Dredge the slices on both sides once more and set aside.Add enough of the oil to just cover the bottom of a 4-5 qt. dutch over set over med-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, appr. 2 min. per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.Remove the last steaks from the pan and add the onions, garlic & celery. Saute for 1-2 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 - 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falling apart.
