Madeleine’s Crock Pot Swiss Steak
Ingredients
? 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
? salt and pepper to taste
? 1 1/2 pounds round steak, cut into small pieces
? 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
? 3 stalks celery, chopped
? 1 onion, chopped
? 3 carrots, shredded
? 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 saute 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.

4. Cover, and cook 8 to 10 hours on low, until the round steak is very tender.
1)Japanese chops
8 Lamb Chops
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Honey
1 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
2 tablespoons Sherry
2 cloves garlic; crushed
1 teaspoon Ginger; ground
1/2 cup chicken stock
Put the chops in the crock pot. You could brown first if you like but I did not and they looked great when done.
Mix all the other ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the chops.
Put on the lid and cook for about 8 hours on low. I did stir about half way through but this is optional.
Just before serving, I spooned out some liquid into a small saucepan. I added about a tablespoon of corn flour to a little water so it dissolved and added this to the sauce. Boil for a minute, stiring until it thickens.
Pour over chops and enjoy.
We served with a mixture of beans but would be delicious with creamy, mashed potato.

Braised roasts like chuck roast, ribs, roast turkey, baked ham. MMMMM baked beans, spaghetti sauce. Cakes, breads, etc. Get a slow cooker cook book at your local 2nd hand book store.
I usually use mine for roast dinners or pasta.
I have a small one I use for desserts like custards, rice puddings and ordinary steamed puddings.
