BARBECUE-STYLE PORK STEAKS

4 pork shoulder steaks, cut 1/2 inch thick
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
1/2 cup favorite barbecue sauce
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Cut pork steaks in half lengthwise. Trim excess fat.

In a large skillet brown steaks on both sides in hot oil. Drain steaks on paper towels.

In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart electric crock pot arrange the onion, green pepper, and tomatoes. Sprinkle tapioca over vegetables. Place pork steaks atop vegetables and tapioca.

In a small bowl stir together barbecue sauce, wine, and cumin. Pour over meat and vegetables in the crock pot.

Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or till meat and vegetables are tender.

To serve, transfer meat and vegetables to a serving platter.
