Crockpot Steak

Yes we do love our Instant Pot but quite frankly the slow cooker function does NOT work well on it.

• Just use your good ol' fashioned machine for all of your favorite Crockpot recipes.

If you too love an easy slow cooker recipe, you're going to go crazy over this one. First let's go over a few resources:

• This 8 quart is my all time favorite model.
  • For easier cleanup you can use these liners if you like.
• I love trying new things and this Crockpot cookbook has a TON of great ones in it.
• For the best Crockpot recipes ever we have a bunch here on The Typical Mom blog.

If you've never thought about making steak in a Crockpot well you totally can. When you want meat n potatoes for dinner, this may turn out to be a game changer for y'all.

Just pop it all in, sprinkle in your favorite steak dry rub on top and when the time is up you'll not only have protein but taters ready too. Use our steak doneness temperatures chart so you get it just right at the end.

Whisk in some thickener to make a batch of gravy to serve with it too. I mean that is just comfort food on a plate if you ask me!

First you're going to choose your cut of choice. There are tons of possibilities and everyone has their preference regarding which style is best.

What is the best beef to use in a slow cooker?

Most would say though that these are the best cuts of beef for slow cooking; chuck steak, round steak, blade steak, topside, silverside, skirt steak, or (gravy) beef for results you'll love.

We used eye of round for this batch.

Can you cook steak from frozen in a slow cooker?

It's not recommended to cook frozen meat in a slow cooker. There's the risk of harmful bacteria contaminating the meat before it reaches a safe temperature using this method.

The best place to thaw your meat is in the refrigerator before cooking it in a Crockpot.

Some prefer to sear the outside of their meat before adding. That is fine as well if you want a bit of stiffened texture on the outsides.

How do you cook meat and vegetables in a slow cooker?

Firm vegetables like potatoes and carrots work well. Place them on top of the meat inside your crock and sprinkle on the seasonings. Keep them LARGE or they'll fall apart.

It is best to cook on the low setting (170 degrees F for most models) the cook time will be twice as long as cooking on high but will yield a better result.

• Yes you could cook just your meat inside your pot but when it's time to sit down and eat you're going to look for some carbs, so just go ahead and cook everything together!
• It just makes a lot more sense to do it that way. One pot meals are the way to go you know.
• PLUS, potatoes soak up all the flavorful juices from the meat and seasonings which makes them one of the best parts of the meal.

We follow this same method to cook a whole chicken in a Crockpot. They're fought over at dinnertime I tell you.

Can you overcook in a slow cooker?

Slow cookers gradually bring your food up to a simmer point. You can't overcook it up to that point, but it can happen if you cook it too long after it reaches this stage.

It will begin to dry out regardless of how much liquid you've included in your pot.

• I haven't ever had this issue with really any Crockpot recipe I've made, but I tend to always cook on low and never more than 8 hours.
• As long as you follow directions accordingly, and add enough liquid you should be just fine.

Time needed:6 hours.

Slow Cooker Steak

1. Prepare

   Spray inside of crock with non stick spray and lay steaks on the bottom. Wash and cut potatoes in half or 4ths with skins in tact. Put around steak. The smaller the taters the more tender they will be.

   You don't want them smaller than in 4ths or they will just disintegrate.

2. Add ingredients

   Add broth or water until half of steak is sitting in the liquid (will vary depending on how large your pot is) Sprinkle everything with dry soup mix.

3. Cook

   Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6 hours until steak and potatoes are tender to your liking.
