Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef steaks (such as sirloin or chuck)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Jarred salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
- 0.5 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 piece Lime (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Season the beef steaks evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step is optional but enhances flavor.
In the crock pot, pour 1 cup of salsa over the bottom to create a base layer.
Place the seared steaks into the crock pot, layered if necessary.
Pour the remaining salsa and beef broth over the top of the steaks to cover them evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for 3 hours, until the steaks are tender and fully cooked.
Once cooked, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime before serving, if desired.
Serve the salsa steaks hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side of your choice.
