Recipe: Bison (or beef) Swiss Steak

This meal is a recent favorite of mine, and is, as always, my version.  Simple to make in a crock pot and satisfying at the end of a long busy day makes this recipe healthy, fast to put together, and very tasty.

2 lbs Bison cubed steak or round steak
1/4 onion, minced
1 zucchini chopped
2 carrots chopped
1 stalk celery chopped
1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch of savory
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 Beef Bouillon cube
salt and pepper to taste

• Cut the meat to fit appropriately in your crock pot or roaster.
• Drizzle oil in your cooking vessel.
• Season meat and place in cooking vessel.
• On top of the meat place onion, zucchini, carrot, and celery.
• Pour the can of tomato sauce over all vegetables and meat.
• Add garlic powder, onion powder, and beef bouillon cube; sprinkle savory over the dish.
• Cook for desired time in your crock pot or 45 min to 1 hour at 350 degrees in your oven until meat is done.
• At approximately 15 minutes before serving, place the cabbage on top of the meat and vegetables and place back into the oven or cover in the crock pot.
• Serve hot with rice or desired side.

When I cook I use approximations and like to add a little here and a little there. Please feel free to try your own approximations and additions.
