The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
4 cups shredded cabbage
1 large green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
4 1/2 ounces canned mushrooms
6 scallions, chopped
1 can water chestnuts, canned, drained, (8 ounce size)
1 pound lean round steak, cut into strips
1/4 cup dry sherry
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese chili paste with garlic
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic pepper
1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 package (16 ounce size) frozen young green beans, thawed
1/2 large red bell pepper, chopped
directions
In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart electric slow cooker, mix together the cabbage, green pepper, mushrooms, scallions, water chestnuts, and beef.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons each of the sherry and soy sauce, the water hoisin sauce, chili paste and garlic powder. Pour over the beef and vegetables in the pot. Sprinkle with the garlic pepper. Cover and cook on the low heat setting for 5 1/2 to 6 hours.
In a small bowl or cup, mix together the cornstarch and remaining sherry and soy sauce. Increase the heat setting to high. Stir in the cornstarch mixture. Place cover slightly ajar and cook on high for 1/2 hour, stirring once or twice, until the sauce clears and thickens slightly.
Stir in the green beans and red pepper and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer.

crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Really enjoyed this. The steak was so incredibly tender. Very good flavor overall. Will make again. Doesn't taste like it was made in a crock pot.

We tested this recipe for beef and vegetable stew and found it to be quite good. Overall the cooking time was about right (it might vary depending on the make/model of your crockpot). The only thing was that we would have preferred that the green beans and bell pepper were cooked longer. 5-10 minutes wasn't enough. Either add them sooner or pre-cook before adding.
