2 lbs Stew Meat
1 24-oz can seasoned tomato juice, like V-8, or other
2 tablespoons flour mixed in ¼ cup water
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 large onion, sliced
1 potato, diced
1 cup sliced carrot chunks
1. Pre-heat 4 qt. pan on range top. Water drops will “dance” when dropped when pan is at the right temperature.
2. Trim meat of fat and brown in pre-heated pan using no fat or oil.
3. Stir in tomato juice; add vegetables.
4. Cover with the vapor valve open and cook on Medium heat until vapor escapes from the valve. Then place on the Slo Cooker base on #3. Cook for about 2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender. (If a less tender cut of meat is used, it may need more than 3 hours.) For a slower cooking time of 6 to 7 hours use setting #2.
5. During the last ½ hour of cooking, thicken the stew. Place the flour mixture in a container with a tight lid. Cover and shake well to mix; slowly pour the flour mixture into the stew while gently stirring.
