  5        tablespoons  red wine vinegar
     3/4      teaspoon  garlic powder
     3/4      teaspoon  seasoned salt

Cut the beef into thin strips diagonally across the grain. Add to a 31/2- or
4-quart electric slow cooker. Add the onions, pineapple juice, broth, 3
tablespoons of the vinegar, the garlic powder, seasoned salt, paprika, and
black pepper. Mix well. Cover and cook on the low heat setting 6 to 61/2
hours, or until the beef is just tender. Increase the heat setting to high.
Stir in the green and red pepper squares and the brown sugar. Mix together
the cornstarch, soy sauce, and remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar. Stir into the
cooker, blending well. Cook, covered, on high 45 to 60 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Just before serving, stir in
the tomato wedges and pineapple chunks. MAKES 6 SERVINGS
