Crock Pot Steak

Description: Very nice on fall days for a fast dinner. I like to prepare it the night before and let it cook while we're at work.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs round steaks, cut into serving sized pieces
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 lb baby carrots
• 2 medium russet potatoes, cut into small pieces
• 1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms

Steps:

1. Brown steak in skillet with 2T. olive oil. Transfer to crock pot and set aside. In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, and seasonings. Place potatoes, carrots and mushrooms on top of browned steak and pour sauce over all.
2. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until steak is tender and veggies are done.
3. For gravy if you like it: Add 1/4 cup of beef broth and 2 T. of flour to crockpot about 30 minutes before serving allow to cook and thicken.
