ALL DAY CROCK POT BEEF

1-1/2 lbs. beef roast
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 cloves garlic
1/2 env. onion soup mix
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. steak sauce
3 carrots, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow onion, cut into rings
1/2 cup water

Cut beef into serving sized portions. Use more beef if you need more than 6 servings. Brown beef in a bit of oil. Place the vegetables into bottom of crock pot. Sprinkle the beef pieces with fresh ground black pepper, minced garlic and the onion soup mix. Place on top of the vegetables. 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. Turn to low, cover and cook for 7-9 hours. When ready to serve, ladle meat and vegetables out of pot with a slotted spoon. Use the liquid as is or turn crock pot to high and thicken liquid with a little flour or cornstarch.
