SWEET AND SOUR BEEF STEW 
1 1/2 lbs. boneless beef chuck steak, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
3 med. carrots, thinly sliced
1 med. onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
8 oz. tomato sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. vinegar
1/4 c. water
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1. Stir beef, flour and salt in 2 quart casserole until beef is coated. Add remaining ingredients.

2. Microwave, covered at High (100%) 5 minutes. Reduce power to Medium (50%). Microwave until beef is tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour, stirring 2 or 3 times during cooking. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles, if desired.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
