Ingredients
2 lb beef top round steak, cut into 1/8 thick slices
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 bay leaf
2 cl garlic, minced
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 drop liquid smoke
Directions
Combine ingredients in slow cooker; cover. Cook on low for 4 to 6
hours, depending on how well done you want meat. Remove bay leaf
before serving. Serve by itself or on rolls. To save time, use meat
that has been cut up for stir fry. If you're cutting your own, it's
easier if the meat is slightly frozen when you slice it.
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed far back into history, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. Closer to modern times, we find two interesting recipe books which were published in the 14th Century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of the time. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich houses tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
