So-Easy Pepper Steak

So-Easy Pepper SteakTake just 15 minutes to add steak and vegetables to a slow-cooker...and go do whatever you have planned for the day. Dinner will be ready when you get home.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound boneless beef round steak, cut 3/4 to 1-inch thick
Salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (14.50-ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
3 tablespoons Italian-style tomato paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 (16-ounce) package frozen pepper stir-fry vegetables (yellow, green, and red peppers and onion)

Cooking Directions:

  1. Trim fat from heat. Cut meat into 4 serving-size pieces; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown meat on both sides in hot oil. Tranfer to a 3 1/2 or 4-quart electric crockery cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together undrained stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce; pour over meat in crockery cooker. Top with frozen vegetables. Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender. (Or, cover and cook on low-heat setting 10 to 12 hours).

Makes 4 servings.

Test Kitchen Tip: If you can't find Italian-style stewed tomatoes and tomato paste at your supermarket, buy regular tomato products and add 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed.
