MERTZIE'S SLOW COOKED SWISS STEAK & CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Bring steak to room temperature and cut into quarters. Tenderize the steak with a meat mallet (sometimes your butcher will do it for you or run it through a cuber). Pound it w/ a mallet until it starts to thin out (you show that steak who's boss, baby!).
• 2. Lightly salt & then pepper the steak. I pour worcestershire sauce on it at this point & rub in well & let it sit a bit longer. Heat a skillet w/ some oil for browning the steak. Rub the steak into the flour.
• 3. Fry for a few minutes each side, working in batches, if needed. Brown the pork chops or ribs a few minutes also, (I don't add flour or seasonings to the chops).
• 4. Meawhile, add about 3/4 of the canned tomatoes to your crockpot. Sprinkle a little sugar over top, and then add the A1, if using. Add 1 can of tomato paste & beef stock, celery seed, and stir. I add more ground black pepper. Add some more salt, if you want. Add half of the chopped green pepper & onions.
• 5. Add the cooked steak & chops. Top w/ remaining onions and peppers & the rest of the tomatoes. Cook on low for about 6-7 hours.
• 6. Check & see if your sauce is too thin. If it is, add the rest of the tomato paste & continue cooking until you can cut the steak easily with just a fork. You also can add some garlic to this recipe or chopped carrots. I usually don't just because my mom didn't & I like it how she did it! :)
• 7. Enjoy!
