Preparing smothered steak in a crock pot is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps:
- Begin by seasoning the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a skillet, sear the steak on medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Transfer the seared steak to the crock pot.
- In a bowl, mix the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth together.
- Pour the mixture over the steak, ensuring it is well coated.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onions, and minced garlic on top.
- If desired, add any additional vegetables like carrots or potatoes.
- Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the steak is tender.
