Menu Monday – Savory Swiss Steak

crjockpot

Have you had enough Turkey Sandwiches, turkey chowders and soups, and other turkey variations yet?   I have!  So I put the rest of the leftovers in the freezer including the homemade gravy.  I’m making this easy, healthy round steak in the Crock Pot Recipe later this week.  Vegetables thicken the rich sauce-like gravy which smothers fork tender steak.  Double or triple as needed to serve a crowd.  This is super yummy!  I hope you like it.

1 1/2 lbs round steak, approximately 1 inch thick

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

¼ cup flour

2 tsp dry mustard

1 can (16 0z) diced tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp oil

2 tsp brown sugar or Sucanat

Cut round steak into 6 or more serving-size pieces. Coat with a mixture of flour, mustard, salt and pepper. Using a large frying pan, brown the meat in 1 Tbsp butter with 1 tbsp oil. Transfer to a crock pot. Heat remaining butter and oil in frying pan. Saute onion, carrots and celery until glazed. Add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Heat scraping up drippings. Pour over meat. Cover, Cook on low 6-8 hours or until tender. Serve meat with vegetable sauce spooned over. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish if desired.

Serving Suggestion: Add garlic mashed potatoes (made with real butter) and a green salad for a complete meal.
