Crock Pot Round Steak

When I was in my mid teens my Dad and step Mom often cooked round steak in the crock pot and served it over rice. Boy howdy! I could eat my own weight in that stuff! I recently bought 3 round steaks then after stuffing my grocery hole with Christmas vittles at and from Mom's sorta forgot about them. Thankfully I remembered them before they got rank, one day after the "sell by" date so still good to go. I didn't have any carrots or peppers for mirepoix but I needed to get them in the crock ASAP.  As rare as can be I was even out of garlic and jalapenos! But I cut the steaks into hand sized chunks and tossed them into the pot. I added a couple small onions, stalks of celery (leaves and all, just not the bottom nor that little knuckle), a few bay leaves, some cilantro that was somewhat less than fresh, some Italian herb mix, kosher salt, black pepper and crushed red. I gave it a few splashes of soy sauce and "whatsishere?" sauce, about 1/2 a beer that was getting warm and filled her up w/ water. The I crunk the crock to full blast high It's about 11:15 AM here so I've got maybe 2 or 3 hours before I have to get some shut eye. Should enough water cook off before then I'll throw in a handful of frozen cherry tomatoes.  If not it'll all be good. It is already smelling like Heaven in this house!
