Swissin' it up steak
So life has been busy and I have not been diligent in trying new recipes but trying to get a groove going. Besides trying new recipes that are quick, easy and tasty I have also been trying to 'coupon' my groceries which has a whole new area I need to learn about.
I have also been reading other food blogs. I am very much a novice at this and cannot seem how to attach links correctly or upload pictures but some day maybe I'll get it all figured out, until then we are stuck with my pictureless black and white words.
My new recipe yesterday was from 'Six Ingredients or Less, Slow Cooker' on page 44. The author is Carlean Johnson. This swiss steak recipe calls for 2 1/2 lbs round steak, 1 cup chopped onion, 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomoatoes, 1/2 greeen or red pepper cubbed, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce.
Trim the meat and cut into serving size pieces and place in your slow cooker and top with remaining ingredients and cook on low for 8 - 10 hours or until meat is tender.
HAHAHA you guessed it I did NOT follow the recipe as written. We are not much for chunks of tomatoes (unless in salsa) so I used to small cans of tomato sauce. And of course I did not measure my salt or worcestshire sauce.
I cooked it for about 6 hours and the meat was perfect.
Overall this recipe was pretty easy and quite tasty. I do not like an overpowering of bell pepper so I chopped mine more than 'cubbing' it and I am not sure that changed the flavor any but the bell pepper flavor was not overpowering.
The boys did not wait for me to make rice, potatoes, or pasta to top...I guess when you're hungry you're hungry.
To date I have tried 7 recipes from this cook book and only 2 either didn't turn out or I was not sold on the recipe as a whole. This cook book was about $15 so my opinion is that it was worth the money and will continue to cook through this book. However with the weather changing it may be time to change the type of recipes I'm trying.
My kitchen is always open :-)
