Dinner and a Movie

As I type this, my apartment is smelling pretty good! I've got one of my most favorite dishes in the crock pot. This particular dish "Pepper Steak," is from the cookbook that I have learned the most from: Better Homes and Gardens, Pink Edition. I love it! It's so easy, so inexpensive, and soooo tasty. And because it uses beef, Henderson likes it to! Here's the recipe:

Pepper Steak

1 lb. boneless beef round steak, cut 3/4 to 1 inch thick
Salt and pepper
Cooking oil
1 14.5-ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
3 tablespoons Italian-style tomato paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 16-ounce package frozen pepper stir-fry vegetables (yellow, green, and red sweet peppers and onion

1. Trim fat from meat. Cut meat into four pieces; sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet brown meat on both sides in hot oil. Transfer to a slow cooker. In a bowl stir together undrained tomatoes, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce; pour over meat in cooker. Top with frozen stir-fry vegetables.
2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5-6 hours or until meat and veggies are tender.

*I always serve this over rice. It's great for a weekend dinner since I don't make it that often.
