3stalks celery, chopped(I just use the center part of the celery)
1small yellow onion, diced
3carrots, chopped
2garlic cloves, minced
2(14.5 ounce)cans stewed tomatoes with juice
2Tablespoonslight brown sugar, packed(or to taste)
2TablespoonsWorcestershire sauce
1packet brown gravy mix
Instructions
In a shallow, wide dish add ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon paprika and stir to combine.
One at a time, add 1 1/2-2 pounds cube steak and cover both sides in the flour then set aside. Continue with the remaining cubed steaks.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium high heat, add 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil. Get the oil nice and hot.
Then add in the cubed steaks (only 2 at a time) to the skillet and quickly brown on each side. You are not cooking the steaks, just browning the outsides to give them some color. Remove and continue with the remaining cubed steaks (adding more oil, as needed.)
To a 5-6 quart slow cooker add 3 stalks celery, chopped, 1 small yellow onion, diced and 3 carrots, chopped.
Then add the browned cubed steaks on top.
Next in a small bowl whisk together 2 garlic cloves, minced, 2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes with juice, 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar, packed, 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce and 1 packet brown gravy mix.
Pour the liquid mixture into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
Then serve!
