Notes
Storage:Store leftovers in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. They'll be fine for 3 days or so.You can also put the leftovers in a freezer container and freeze for up to 3 months.Tips:
You can make this in the oven, too. Just put the ingredients in a baking dish instead of a slow cooker, cover tightly with foil, and bake at 300F for 2 hours.
This recipe freezes well.
Save time by buying the prechopped vegetables.
If you buy "cubed" steak you won't have to pound it with the mallet.
Skip dredging the beef in the flour and just toss it in the slow cooker - you'll lose some flavor but save about 10 minutes.
Instead of making potatoes or rice to go with this make toast and serve it over the toast.
