yes, sear it in a hot pan.
Salt (kosher) and pepper the steaks very well. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of oil or butter and heat for 1 minute. Add the steaks. When they are ready to be turned, they will release themselves from the pan, turn and sear the other side and repeat. Proceed with your recipe as directed.
the flour is traditional with swiss steaks
if you don't want to use wheat flour, you could use rice flour, corn starch or even potato starch
its used not only to create a small crust, but also the browned bits will thicken in the pan into a gravy for the steaks.
Yes, you can brown meat without flour. Just be careful to keep moving it (the meat) so it does not stick and burn.
Sure, just fry in a little oil
