How to Make Crockpot Steak
- Step 1 – Prepare slow cooker by spraying with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Step 2 – Put the sliced onions in the bottom of the crock pot.
- Step 3 – Then add the steaks right on top of the onions.
- Step 4 – Use a small bowl and combine the vinegar and A-1. Whisk this together and pour all over the steaks.
- Step 5 – Sprinkle steak seasoning on the steaks.
- Step 6 – Let the slow cooker do the work. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. The cooking times will vary depending how thick your steaks are and how full your slow cooker is.
- Step 7 – While you can cook these on high for reduced time, I suggest cooking on low for longer. Since you are using a cheaper cut of meat, they will be more tender the longer and slower you cook them.
- Step 8 – Now add salt and black pepper to taste. Make sure to garnish each serving with onions. That is our favorite part.
- Seasoning – You could also add a little garlic powder, boullion cube, or fresh herbs such as thyme or parsley. It will give this round steak crock pot recipe so much flavor.
- Change Meat – You could also use top sirloin steak, pot roast, stew meat, or chuck roast instead of round steak.
- Add Veggies – Slice some Bell peppers and add them in the slow cooker as well. It would even make a delicious stir fry by adding in mushrooms or carrots.
