This is an easy recipe that can be prepped in the morning and cooks low and slow all day for a cozy dinnertime favorite.
Savory Crock Pot Steak
Inexpensive round or cube steaks are browned in bacon fat and simmered in the crockpot with some red wine, broth, and mushrooms. The result is meat that is cooked into tender perfection and smothered in a rich and tasty gravy.
This recipe is the perfect ‘set it and forget it’ meal! This meal is hearty like a stew with easy prep. Serve over mashed potatoes or even in hoagie buns with mozzarella cheese. Make ahead of time and reheat (or even freeze) leftovers for another meal.
Ingredients and Variations
BEEF: Crockpots can cook all kinds of inexpensive meats to fork tender perfection. Cube steaks benefit from either being cooked quickly in a pan or very low and slow until tender. If you don’t have cube steaks, I’d recommend using other cuts that tenderize well in a crock pot like chuck roast, stewing beef, or round steak. THE GRAVY: Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. This will be mixed in with the juices of the cooked meat to create rich and flavorful gravy! Cube steaks are sometimes known as minute steaks (or even called swiss steak) and are cut from either top or bottom round. Since they’re very lean, they can be tough. They’re most often sold tenderized at the store (making them look almost like ground beef).
