Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Round steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the round steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Lightly dredge each piece of steak in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the seared steak to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions and mushrooms until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add them to the crock pot, spreading evenly over the steak.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the steak and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the steak is tender and easily cut with a fork.
About 15 minutes before serving, make a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch with water in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the crock pot to thicken the gravy.
Serve the smothered steak over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
