FAQ's
Yes, you can certainly put raw steak in a slow cooker. In fact, it comes out nice and tender.
It usually takes about 7-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.
No, you don't need to brown the steak first. Just throw it in the crockpot and let it cook all day! You can brown it first in a large skillet if you prefer, but it's not a requirement.
Yes, it's possible to overcook steak in a crockpot. So make sure to check on it periodically and take it out when it's cooked to your liking.
I usually use top sirloin steak or round steak for this recipe. But any kind of steak will work.
Things to know
- For easy clean-up, spray your slow cooker well with nonstick cooking spray or use a slow cooker liner.
- I like to use baby potatoes in this recipe, but you can certainly use regular-sized ones instead. Just cut them into two inch pieces. Any smaller and they will be soft and fall apart.
- If you don't have beef broth, you can use water or beef stock instead.
- Thicken the gravy after cooking this crock pot recipe, by adding a cornstarch slurry or moving the gravy to a small saucepan and letting it simmer on the stove.
- I prefer to cook this slow cooker steak recipe on low heat instead of high because I find the beef becomes more tender.
Variations
- If you want to add more flavor to this recipe, you can place fresh onion in the bottom of the crockpot before you add the meat.
- You can also add flavor to this simple recipe by adding minced garlic cloves, garlic powder, steak seasoning, or Worcestershire sauce.
- A splash or two of red wine would add a deep and rich flavor to this simple recipe.
- Make this meal even heartier by adding your favorite vegetables like celery, bell peppers, and carrots.
- A can of cream of mushroom soup will add some creaminess to the sauce.
- Cubed sweet potatoes can be used in place of baby potatoes.
- Add a little heat with chili powder, cayenne pepper, or crushed red pepper flakes.
Storage
Refrigerate - Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
Freezer - I don't recommend freezing this recipe as steak can become tough and the potatoes mushy when reheated.
Reheat - To reheat, simply remove from the fridge and heat in a pot on the stove over medium heat until warmed through.
