If beef is extra lean, thoroughly wipe cubed beef on absorbent towels
to dry. If meat contains fat, quickly brown in large skillet to sear
and remove fat; drain well.
Place beef cubes in Crock-Pot. Combine 1/3 cup flour with the salt
and pepper; toss with beef to coat thoroughly. Add all vegetables
except tomato wedges to Crock-Pot and mix well. Combine beef broth,
wine, sugar, and kitchen bouquet. Pour over meat and vegetables; stir
carefully. Add drained tomatoes and stir well. Cover and cook on Low
for 10 to 14 hours or on High for 4 to 5-1/2 hours.
One hour before serving, turn to High. Make a smooth paste of 1/4 cup
flour and the water; stir into Crock-Pot. Cover and cook until
thickened.
