2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds Round Steak cut into 1 inch chunks
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups carrots cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 cups sliced celery cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 cups (or a 15 ounce can) of tomato sauce
1/2 cup cider (or white) vinegar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon. prepared mustard
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons chilli (or cayenne) powder
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Sour Cream for a garnish when served
In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook meat, just until browned (about 4 to 5 minutes). Place in the Crock Pot, along with all the rest of the ingredients except the sour cream. Mix well, cover and cook on high until the meat is tender. About 4 to maybe 6 hours.
Serve in bowls and top with a spoon full of Sour Cream.
