This slow cooker steak and mushrooms is one of those set it and forget it crockpot recipes that makes weeknight dinners so much easier. I love that you can throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and come home to a hot, tender, flavorful meal that is completely gluten free, dairy free, and keto friendly. No canned soup required!

It's just simple whole ingredients that create the most delicious savory sauce.

The steak comes out incredibly tender after slow cooking all day and the mushrooms and onions soak up all of that amazing flavor from the sauce. I like to serve this over mashed potatoes so the sauce soaks right in, but it is equally good over rice or with roasted vegetables on the side.

This is the kind of recipe that makes people think you spent all day in the kitchen when really your slow cooker did all the work.

Instructions

Cut the steaks into 4-6 serving size pieces (if it's not already cut). Layer the steak pieces into the bottom of your crockpot.

Whisk together the brown sugar, coconut aminos or soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and minced garlic. Pour the mixture overtop of the steak.

Evenly top the steak with sliced mushrooms and sliced onion.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for about 2 hours. The steak needs to reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees when done.

When done, remove steak from the crockpot and using a slotted spoon remove the onion and mushrooms. Serve immediately.

Hint: I love to serve this recipe with mashed potatoes, my Instant Pot Garlic Ginger Green Beans or my Crispy Garlic and Rosemary Smashed Potatoes.

Substitutions

• Chuck Steak - instead of round steak you can use chuck steak or a mixture of both
• White Onion - you can replace the yellow onion with a white onion
• Gravy - if you would like to make gravy with the leftover juices in the slow cooker take ½ cup of the liquid and stir in 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Pour the mixture back into the slow cooker and stir to thicken.
