Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds round steak sliced thin across the grain
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 whole red bell pepper cored and sliced
  • 1 whole green pepper cored and sliced
  • 1 whole yellow or orange pepper cored and sliced
  • 1 whole medium sweet onion peeled and cut into thin slices
  • 2 whole stalks celery cut into small pieces
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 14 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp sweet paprika
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 1/4 or leave out if you prefer no spice
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 6 cups cooked rice or noodles

Instructions
 

  • In a 5-7 quart slow cooker, place sliced round steak on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Next, layer sliced peppers, onion, and celery over the steak.
  • In a medium bowl, mix tomato paste, diced tomatoes, paprika, red pepper flakes, sugar, and water. Pour the mixture over the peppers and onions in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6.
  • Serve over cooked rice or wide egg noodles.

Notes

Note: This meal can also be made on the stove top in a large skillet. First brown round steak in 2 tablespoons butter, when steak is no longer pink and is starting to brown add in peppers, onions, and celery stir around with the steak. Mix up remaining ingredients and pour over the top cover and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. The meat is not quite as tender when cooked this way, but in a pinch this cooking method works just fine!
