Source: rec.food.recipes/Bill Hilbrich

2 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 lb. round steak cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups carrots cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 cups sliced celery cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup cider (or white) vinegar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tbsp. prepared mustard
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper

In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook meat, just until browned (about 4 to 5 minutes). Place in the crockpot, along with all the rest of the ingredients. Mix well, cover and cook on high until the meat is tender (about 4 to maybe 6 hours on high, 8 to 10 on low).

Serve in bowls and top with a spoon full of sour cream.
