Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Steak (such as chuck, sirloin, or flank)
- 1 large Sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the steak and cut it into large portions if needed to fit into your slow cooker.
Place half of the sliced onions and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a base layer.
Lay the steak pieces over the onion and garlic layer.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the steak, ensuring it is fully covered in the liquid.
Top the steak with the remaining sliced onions and any leftover garlic.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender.
Once the steak is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and set it aside on a serving platter, covering it loosely with foil to keep it warm.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Turn the slow cooker to the high setting (if it has one), and stir the cornstarch slurry into the liquid in the slow cooker. Let it cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Pour the thickened sauce over the steak before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
