I like to make this in the summer when the tomatoes are in season. The combination of tomato, beef, and rosemary is wonderful. This can be made on the stovetop, too, but I double the liquids.

Time 8h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium onion, sliced
2 lbs round steaks, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup beef broth (I prefer consomme)
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 medium tomatoes, cut in wedges
hot cooked noodles

Steps:

  • Separate onion into rings.
  • Place in crock pot.
  • In skillet, brown beef in oil.
  • Put in crock pot.
  • Add broth, garlic, worcestershire sauce, rosemary, salt, paprika, and pepper.
  • Cover; cook on low 8- 10 hours.
  • Turn to high heat setting.
  • Blend water, soy sauce, and cornstarch.
  • Stir into hot mixture.
  • Cover and cook until bubbly, 15-20 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes just before serving.
  • Serve over noodles.

Tips:

  • To ensure the beef is evenly browned, sear it in a single layer in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will prevent the beef from browning properly.
  • To make sure the tomatoes are evenly cooked, cut them into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Serve the herbed beef and tomatoes over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. You can also serve it on its own as a main course.
