Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef round steak
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season the round steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Dredge the steak in all-purpose flour, coating it evenly and shaking off any excess.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak on both sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker.
Slice the onion into rings and mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the slow cooker.
Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce to the slow cooker. Stir to combine the liquids.
Clean and slice the mushrooms if not pre-sliced, then add them to the slow cooker as well.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 7-8 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, remove 1/4 cup of liquid from the slow cooker and stir it into the cornstarch slurry. Add the slurry back into the slow cooker and mix well to thicken the gravy.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Once the cooking time is complete, serve the round steak with the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
