Description

This dish features melt-in-your-mouth beef coated in a thick, savory mushroom gravy.
The slow cooking process allows the flavors to deepen and blend beautifully, resulting in a comforting meal with minimal prep time.
It’s a classic homestyle recipe that’s both budget-friendly and satisfying.

Tips

• Sear for Extra Flavor: Brown the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker for a richer taste.
• Thicker Gravy: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Add Veggies: Mushrooms, onions, or carrots can be added for extra texture and flavor.
• Low and Slow is Best: Cooking on LOW produces the most tender beef.

Correction & Helpful Notes

• If the sauce turns out too thick, add a little extra beef broth.
• If the beef seems tough, it likely needs more cooking time — slow cooking helps break down connective tissue.
• Avoid lifting the lid frequently, as this releases heat and increases cooking time.
