Description
This slow cooker French onion steak is tender, flavorful, and perfect over mashed potatoes or rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs round steak
- 1 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 packet French onion soup mix (dry)
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Add half of the onions and mushrooms into the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
- Season both sides of the steaks with the dry French onion soup mix and black pepper and place into the slow cooker.
- Add the remaining onions and mushrooms on top of the steaks.
- Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce around the steaks (not directly on top to avoid washing off seasonings).
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through.
- Once the cooking time is complete, prepare the thickening mixture. Add ⅓ cup of hot broth from the slow cooker into a small bowl with the cornstarch and whisk until smooth. Pour back into the crockpot and stir to combine.
- Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes on high, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
- For best results, make sure to season the steaks well with the soup mix and black pepper.
- Feel free to add any additional vegetables you enjoy into the slow cooker.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
