Ingredients
- 1 1 1/2 pound round steak tenderized by the butcher
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes with the juice
- 14 ounces water about 1 3/4 cups
- 1 medium yellow onion cut in to 1/2" strips or rings
- 1 medium bell pepper cut into 1/2" strips
Instructions
- Cut your steak into 4-inch wide strips. Mix the garlic powder, salt and pepper together in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over both sides of the meat.
- Dust the meat with the flour evenly over both sides. Shake off any excess and set the meat aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high and add the oil. Heat until just shimmering and add the meat in a single layer. It should sizzle immediately. Cook on one side until golden brown--about 4 minutes, then turn and cook 4 minutes or so on the other side.
- Turn off the skillet and transfer the meat to your slow cooker. If you used your dutch oven to sear the meat, just add the ingredients in with the meat.
- To the meat, add the crushed garlic, tomatoes, water, onions and peppers. Stir to combine, cover and cook on low 6 hours or until the meat is very tender and almost falling apart.
- If cooking in the oven, bake at 350 for about 2 hours (check it after one hour and add more tomato juice if it's cooking down too much) or cook until the meat is very tender.
- Serve warm with green beans and mashed potatoes.
