Sweet and Sour Beef Stew

Bill Jackson, Mesa AZ requested an easy stew recipe with a "sweet & sour" sauce. I got lots of praise from Cliff when I dished this up for him!

16 oz lean round steak, cut into 16 pcs
1 cup chopped celery
1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup (on 8 oz can) Hunt's Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup granular Splenda
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon parsley flakes

In a large skillet sprayed with butter flavored cooking spray, sauté steak pieces for 5 minutes. Stir in celery, carrots and onion. In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, water, vinegar, Splenda, Worcestershire sauce and parsley flakes. Add sauce mixture to meat mixture. mix well to combine. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until meat and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
