Perfect! 🥩 Slow Cooker Steak is a game-changer — tender, juicy, and full of flavor without standing over the stove. Using a slow cooker lets the steak cook low and slow, making even tougher cuts melt-in-your-mouth.
Here’s a delicious, foolproof recipe:
🥘 Slow Cooker Steak
🍽️ Serves:
4 people
⏱️ Time:
Prep: 10 min | Cook: 6–8 hours on LOW | Total: 6–8 hrs 10 min
Ingredients
-
2 lbs beef steak (chuck, sirloin tip, round, or ribeye roast works well)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 onion, sliced
-
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 cup beef broth
-
¼ cup soy sauce (or Worcestershire sauce)
-
1 tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
-
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
-
1–2 carrots, chopped (optional)
-
2 celery stalks, chopped (optional)
-
1–2 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening sauce)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Sear the steak (optional but recommended)
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Sear steak 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
-
Remove and set aside.
2. Prepare the slow cooker
-
Place onion, garlic, carrots, and celery in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Place the seared steak on top.
-
Pour beef broth and soy/Worcestershire sauce over the steak.
-
Sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook low and slow
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours (or HIGH 3–4 hours), until the steak is fork-tender.
4. Optional: thicken the sauce
-
Remove the steak and vegetables to a plate.
-
Pour the liquid into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
-
Mix 1–2 tsp cornstarch with cold water and whisk into the simmering liquid until thickened.
5. Serve
-
Slice the steak against the grain or shred it.
-
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables, topped with the rich gravy.
💡 Tips for Success
-
Tougher cuts shine in the slow cooker (chuck roast, round, brisket).
-
Don’t lift the lid too often — slow cooking relies on steam to tenderize.
-
For extra flavor, add mushrooms, bell peppers, or a splash of red wine.
-
Leftovers make amazing steak sandwiches or tacos.
If you want, I can also give a slow cooker steak with a creamy garlic mushroom sauce version — it’s restaurant-quality comfort food.
