July 3, 2009 in Recipes by Annacia

This is a crock pot or top of the stove Dutch oven recipe that’s very good the year round and simple to make. It’s really a full meal in one pot and you know how good those are. Great taste and not a lot of pots and pans to wash

SERVES: 8

INGREDIENTS:

3 1/2 lbs round steaks, 1 inch thick and lightly marbled if possible

1/2 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/8 cup cooking oil (more if needed)

2 cups onions, sliced

2 cans stewed tomatoes

4 ounces water or beef broth (more if needed)

8 new potatoes, cut in quarters, unpared

6 carrots, quartered, pared or not (your choice)

1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut round steak into 8 large pieces if desired or work with the whole steak.

2. Mix flour with S&P and pound into steak.

3. In hot oil in Dutch oven, brown steak on both sides; add onions and brown a bit Add tomatoes and water, cover; simmer about 30 minute or until meat begins to be tender.

4. Add potatoes and carrots; simmer, covered about 25 minute Season to taste.

5. Push frozen peas down into the juices. Cook, covered, about 10 min longer or just until vegetables are tender.

FOR CROCK POT:
EARLY IN DAY:
You may skip the browning if using the crock pot, if you choose to brown it put it into the crock right after browning and do not do not cook the onions in the Dutch oven .

Add the onions and remaining ingredients, except the peas, to the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours.

Add the peas the last 20 mins of cooking.
