Just a few simple ingredients and your trusty slow cooker are all you need to create a meal that feels like a warm hug on a plate. Let’s dive into this easy, satisfying recipe that will have everyone at the table asking for seconds.
Season the cubed steaks with salt and black pepper and set them aside. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp onion powder. Mix well to combine. Next, heat 1/4 cup cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Dredge the cubed steaks in the seasoned flour, then gently add to the skillet. Cook for about two to three minutes on each side or until brown. Once done, transfer the cubed steaks to the crockpot.
Add 2 tbsp of the seasoned flour to the pan, stir, and cook for a minute. After this, add 2 cups beef stock while whisking to create a roux. Once done, transfer the roux to the crockpot, then pop on the lid. Set the crockpot to low and cook for four hours. Serve and enjoy!
