TROPICAL BEEF

TROPICAL BEEF

Ingredients:

2 lb. beef top round steak, trimmed of fat
2 large onions, cut into 12 thin wedges each
1 (20 oz.) can unsweetened pineapple chunks, juice reserved
1/2 C. beef broth
5 T. red wine vinegar, divided
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
3/4 tsp. seasoned salt
3/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
3 T. brown sugar
1 1/2 T. cornstarch
2 T. soy sauce
2 large tomatoes, cut into wedges

Cut the beef into thin strips diagonally across the grain.
Add to a 3 1/2 to 4-quart crockpot. Add the onions, pineapple
juice, broth, 3 tablespoons of the vinegar, garlic powder,
seasoned salt, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well. Cover
and cook on LOW for 6 to 6 1/2 hours or until the beef is just
tender.

Increase the setting to HIGH. Stir in the green and red
pepper squares and the brown sugar. Mix together the
cornstarch, soy sauce, and remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar.
Stir into the crockpot, blending well. Cook, covered, on HIGH for
45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens
slightly.

Just before serving, stir in the tomato wedges and
pineapple chunks. Serve over cooked white rice.
