target=\"_blank\">Round Steak with Mushroom Gravy<\/a>, because I had no cream of mushroom soup. \u00a0So I put the steak in the crockpot with half a can of crushed tomatoes (I was also out of the diced tomatoes which I would\u2019ve used instead). \u00a0Then I solicited help from facebook and got the suggestion of pepper steak, and found a <a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/recipe\/23567\/slow-cooker-pepper-steak\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">recipe online<\/a>\u00a0which I tweaked. \u00a0In particular, you\u2019ll note that I skipped the customary peppers, which I didn\u2019t have and the family\u2019s not a big fan of anyway.<\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 lbs round steak<\/p>\n<p>chopped\/sliced onion (I used sweet onions)<\/p>\n<p>1 tsp beef boullion<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup water<\/p>\n<p>1 tbsp cornstarch<\/p>\n<p>1 can tomatoes* (I used 1\/2 of a 28 oz can crushed tomatoes; the original recipe called for a 14.5 oz can stewed tomatoes; I think it came out better the way I did it \u2014 in any case, my youngest doesn\u2019t\u00a0like big pieces of tomato)<\/p>\n<p>3 tbsp soy sauce<\/p>\n<p>1 tsp sugar<\/p>\n<p>garlic powder to taste<\/p>\n<p>salt to taste (the recipe says 1 tsp but various commenters said this was too salty; I added a much smaller amount but it would probably depend on how salty the boullion and soy sauce were)<\/p>\n<p><strong>How I made it:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Put round steak and tomatoes in the crockpot. \u00a0Let it cook\u00a0for a good 9 \u2013 10 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Find a recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before serving, saute onions (sliced, then cut in half, for longish pieces), and add. \u00a0Combine water and cornstarch, and add along with rest of ingredients, and let thicken.<\/p>\n<p>As it happened, I puttered around the kitchen and finished up side dishes; otherwise I might dump the sauce in a pot if I wanted it to thicken as quickly as possible. \u00a0And next time I might just put all the ingredients in the crock pot to start with, in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Yum!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, sure, this is trivial, and nothing to get excited about, as we\u2019re not exactly foodies around
