I don’t know how much time you have, but this is a favorite that my mother used to make.

Smothered Steak

1 ½ lb. lean round steak, cut in serving sizes
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 green pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
1 can tomatoes, (1 lb.)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 lg. onion, sliced
1 can mushrooms, (4 oz.) drained
Put steak strips, salt and pepper in Crock Pot. Stir well. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low 8 hours (high for 4 hours). Serve with rice and french style green beans.

My mother used to make this before she had a crock pot by browning the steak then putting all the ingredients in a oven safe pan. She then baked it for about an hour and a half.

Best Bass Fishing Guide

look up easy beef tips and rice - they are easy and fast - I don’t have the recipe at hand or I would give it to you - use cook.com, I think that is the one I found it uses a bag of that cheap ucky brown gravy packet stuff - but some how works in this recipe

This is a day late, but if your still looking I have the most awsome recipe for Italian beef sandwiches…
get a cheap roast (like an arm or shoulder) yes I know that is typically a rough cut of beef, but it is going into a crock pot so it will be very tender by the day’s end
rub the roast down with garlic, s&p, regular italian dressing, sear the beef for the nice golden brown coating, then put in a crock pot, cover with about a cup to 2 cups of water mixed with a packet of au jus seasoning/gravy mix (you find it in the section of little McCormick type packets), throw in a little bit of chopped onion if you want - I don’t because my husband doesn’t really like onions, so that is out for me. Let this cook about 8 hours on low - remember with a crock you never ever lift the lid, it will be fine when 8 hrs is done. Now when the meat is ready, get some good old hoagie buns (I like the ones with seasame seeds on top - butter the insides, top and bottom pieces - set aside, chop a green, red or orange bell pepper, into thin little strips and a white or yellow onion, same little thin strips - in a pan coated in butter, “stir fry” the pepper and onion till very tender - I actually like mine kind of blackened, remove and set aside, now grill the breads, butter side only of course, then chop the meat up. To make the samy….just put some beef on the bun and some of the veggie mix, a splash of italian dressing and serve with a dip bowl like a french dip sandwich……these are awesome and easy for work day meal - serve with steak fries or onion rings….mmmmmmm
