1
Spray crock with cooking spray.
2
Place flour and meat tenderizer in zip lock bag, close bag and shake to blend.
3
Add one or two steaks to bag at a time and pound with the side of a plate or with a meat hammer until steak is thoroughly coated and about 1.5 times itso original circumference.
4
Remove pounded steaks to a plate and repeat process until all meat has been coated and tenderized.
5
Heat oil in large, heavy skillet over medium high heat.
6
Quickly fry steaks until browned on all sides.
7
Meanwhile, in the crock pot, mix tomatoes, gravy, boullion and oregano to create a sauce.
8
Place browned steaks in crockpot and ladle some sauce over them.
9
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
10
Before serving, remove meat to a serving dish and thicken the sauce with potato flour mixed with enough water to form a milky liquid.
11
Stir this into the sauce a bit at a time while stirring until the sauce reaches desired thickness.
12
Potato starch will thicken the sauce much quicker and using less thickener.

Note: The recipe I mangled to create this dish called for onions and green pepper strips sauteed and added to the sauce.

My family does not like the stringy, limp veges that result so I took a different route.
