Slow Cooker Dad’s Delight

 

How to Make It

1
Sear the steaks
5 min

Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of flour. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms. Transfer them directly to the bottom of your slow cooker.

2
Sauté mushrooms & onions
3 min

In the same skillet, toss in the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 2–3 minutes to pick up any browned bits from the pan. Layer the vegetables directly over the steaks.

3
Mix and pour the gravy base
2 min

In a bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and dry onion soup mix until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the steaks and vegetables.

4
Slow cook until tender
4–7 hours

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours (or HIGH for 3.5 to 4 hours) until the beef is fork-tender and the gravy is thick and bubbling.

5
Garnish and serve
2 min

Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over top. Serve hot over a bed of buttery mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or steamed white rice!

What to Serve Alongside

  • Garlic Mashed Potatoes: The gold standard pairing for soaking up every drop of the rich mushroom gravy.

  • Roasted Green Beans or Asparagus: Adds a bright, snappy contrast to the rich, savory meat.

  • Warm Crusty Bread: Perfect for dipping right into the slow cooker pot
