Day 18 - Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

Since it's still in the 80s here in Corona, not heating up the kitchen sounds like a great idea. That's the beauty of a crock-pot!

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

Prep Time: 15 Minutes Cook Time: 10 Hours 15 Minutes

Ready In: 10 Hours 30 Minutes Servings: 6

Ingredients:

1/4 cup all-purpose flour salt and pepper to taste 1 1/2 pounds steak, cut into small pieces 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 stalks celery, chopped ½ green bell pepper, sliced

1 onion, chopped 3 carrots, shredded ½ lb sliced mushrooms 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste

Directions:

1.	In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Lightly coat the round steak pieces in the flour mixture.
2.	Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté the celery, onion, and carrots about 5 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat, and set aside. Mix in the round steak pieces, and cook until lightly browned.
3.	Place the vegetables and steak in a slow cooker. Mix in the tomatoes with juice, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar.
4.	Cover, and cook 8 to 10 hours on Low, until the steak is very tender. The original recipe calls for round steak, but I prefer top sirloin.
