Preparation

Salt and pepper meat; brown on all sides under broiler or in frying pan on stove.
I use a crock-pot now and after browning the meat, add all ingredients and cook all day.
It can be baked in oven at 350\u00b0 for 30 minutes per 1 pound also.
Cool after cooking. Slice very thin and return to juices.
