Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (can increase if desired)
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1-1/2 pounds round steak, cut into about 1-1/2-inch pieces
Vegetable oil
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped (or can use 2 large stalks celery, chopped)

1 medium onion, chopped
10 medium fresh mushrooms, sliced
3 carrots, shredded
3 garlic loves, minced
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
2 heaping teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste (start with 3 tablespoons and add in more to taste)

Step 1: In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with seasoned salt, pepper, cayenne and garlic powder. Lightly coat the steak pieces in the flour mixture.
Step 2: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat (use enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet) add in bell pepper or celery, onion, carrots, mushrooms and garlic saute until tender (about 5 minutes until tender) remove and place into the slow cooker.
Step 3: Add in the round steak pieces, and cook until lightly browned on all sides, then place into the slow cooker.
Step 4: Mix in the tomatoes with juice, beef bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar.
Step 5: Cover and cook 8 to 10 hours on low setting until the round steak is very tender.
