How to Make Oven Baked Sour Cream Swiss Steak

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Cut 2 lbs beef steak (or 2 lbs boneless pork chops/chicken breasts) into 4 serving-size pieces.
Lightly dust each beef piece with 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. Gently pound each piece to 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp dry mustard powder. Season the flattened beef generously with the spice mixture.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add steaks to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
Transfer the seared steaks to a plate.
Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Sauté for 3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup water, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Pour the mixture into the skillet.
Stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
Return the steaks to the skillet.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the steaks.
Cover the skillet and bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 30-45 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender.
