A good soup is magical for turning a cheaper cut of meat into something scrumptious. This hearty meat-and-potatoes meal is always a hit.
2 pounds top round steak, cut in to 1-inch cubes
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups water
5 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 small onions, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 cup frozen sweet green peas
1 can (16 ounce size) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (6 ounce size) tomato paste
2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
2 teaspoons black pepper
Toss the steak cubes in the flour and shake off any excess. Set the meat aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned on all sides.
Add the browned steak, water, and remaining ingredients to a 5-quart crock pot and gently stir to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2 hours, or low heat for 3-4 hours, or until the vegetables and meat are tender.
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.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Good hearty soup. I added some herbs but otherwise followed the recipe to a T.
