1 1/2 lb beef roast, * see note
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 package onion soup mix
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp steak sauce
3 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow onion
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup tomato juice
Directions
beef roast desired.
1. Cut beef roast into serving-sized portions. Use more beef if
you need more than 6 servings. Brown beef in a bit of vegetable oil,
although you can skip this step if rushed for time.
2. Slice onion and separate into rings. Dice the peeled carrots,
dice the celery and slice the peppers into thin strips or circles.
Place these into bottom of crockpot. Sprinkle the beef pieces with
fresh ground black pepper, minced garlic and the onion soup mix.
Place on top of the vegetables.
3. Mix the steak sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl
with about 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup tomato juice. Pour this over the
meat.
4. Turn the crockpot to high for 30 minutes, or, if you're in a
hurry, skip this step. Turn to low, cover and cook for 7-9 hours.
* Keep the crockpot covered as much as possible throughout cooking
time. A crockpot can be used to cook this type of meal for a varied
amount of time, depending on your schedule. It is not important that
you take the meat and vegetables out at a specific amount of time.
One or two hours either way usually makes no difference.
When ready to serve, dip meat and vegetables out of pot with a
slotted spoon. Use the liquid as is or turn crockpot to high and
thicken liquid with a little flour or cornstarch.

The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into history, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich strove to serve the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
