Wonderful flavor!! I followed the recipe except to add a heaping teaspoon of minced garlic and I didn't have quite enough carrots. My meat was probably closer to 2 pounds, but browning the meat was key I think. It made an awesome gravy without having to do anything to it...just serve it up over mashed potatoes! We'll be doing this recipe again. Thanks!

This recipe was amazing!! I switched it up a bit though, and loved the end result and so did hubby! I added 1 green pepper and 1 red pepper. I used 1 can diced tomatoes with juice and 1 can whole tomatoes in juice (and just mashed them up with a fork). I omitted the brown sugar, and added a dash of Gravy Master. Also I didn't saute the vegetables or brown the meat beforehand-- just didn't have the time and I thought the veggies might end up overcooked in the end. Instead of cooking for 8-10 hours on low, I cooked for 4 hours on high and then 1.5hours on low. The end result was amazing-- the meat was perfect and tender, and the flavors were delicious served over brown rice. Will definitely make again-- so easy!

Followed recipe except for using 'diced tomatoes with green chile' for one of the two cans. Absolutely fantastic!!!

I really don't see the difference between this and an average vegetable soup. I added cheese and it made it better but still not superb. The kids loved it so I will definitely make it again and try some other reviewers tips.

The steak was very tender. I just felt that is was missing something.

Ended up like beef stew. Good if you wanted that, but I wanted swiss steak. Not it.

I went pretty much according to recipe aside from adding garlic because I love it and green pepper because I had one to use. I thought this was a great recipe and such a wonderful way to use up my veggies that needed to be used. The flavor was great, I seasoned with salt and pepper. Also--I had bought some value pack skillet steaks that were just terrible in the skillet and grill but were PERFECT for this. Great for that cheap cut of meat that you need to use up!
