Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 ½–2 pounds cube steak (about 4)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 (14 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes with juice
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 packet 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 ½-2 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 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!
Notes
- This recipe works well with a variety of vegetables, feel free to add your favorites!
- For a richer flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water in the liquid mixture.
