Hi there, Slow Cookerers!!

I hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Krystle emailed me and shared one of her family's favorite meals with me a few years ago and it now has turned into a pretty regular meal when I'm not feeling all that motivated to do much except to dump things in the pot, and push a button.

Thanks to Krystle -- I give you:

peppercorn steak.

If you happen to have some frozen steak tips or strips in the freezer -- you really should give this a try.

:-)

Peppercorn Steak

serves 4 to 6

4 to 6 steaks (use whatever is on sale, it's going to tenderize nicely in the crock; don't buy expensive meat.) (approximately 3 pounds of meat; can use stew meat or chuck roast, too, if you'd like)
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce (Lea Perrins is GF)
1/4 cup of water
2 chopped bell peppers (I used one yellow, one green)
1 chopped yellow onion
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

The Directions.

Use a 4 or 6 quart slow cooker. Put the meat in the crockpot; mine was still frozen solid.

Cover with the chopped vegetables.

Pour in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire, and water.

Add the Italian seasoning and black pepper.

No need to stir.

Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours, or on high for 4-6.

I cooked our dinner for 6 hours on high.

The Verdict.

I liked this! I liked how the steak lifted out of the juice without falling apart, and was able to be sliced like a steak cooked in the oven or on the grill.

The flavor with the tomato sauce and the Worcestershire was great---rich and peppery.

I've never used that much Worcestershire before; usually I use only a few tablespoons at a time.

This makes a lot of sauce.

I bet you could use the remaining sauce as a soup base or to make a fabulous gravy.

That's all for now! Happy Slow Cooking!!!
