How to Make Beef Steaks with Mushroom Gravy in a Slow Cooker

To make beef steaks with mushroom gravy in a slow cooker, you’ll need a few key ingredients and some simple steps. Start by gathering 12 oz (360 ml) of fat-free beef gravy from a jar, 4 oz (120 g) of fresh or canned sliced mushrooms (drained if using canned), 3/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

First, season your beef steaks with salt and pepper to taste. Then, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steaks on both sides until browned. Transfer the steaks to the slow cooker.

Next, in the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms until they are tender and slightly browned. Add the garlic powder and black pepper, stirring to combine. Pour in the beef gravy and stir well to incorporate all the flavors.

Pour the mushroom gravy mixture over the beef steaks in the slow cooker, making sure to cover them completely. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the steaks are tender and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Once the beef steaks are cooked, remove them from the slow cooker and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the mushroom gravy over the steaks and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Using a slow cooker for this recipe allows the flavors to meld together and the beef steaks to become incredibly tender. The mushroom gravy adds a rich and savory element that complements the beef perfectly. Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Beef Steak with Mushroom Gravy Serving Suggestions

To enhance the flavors of the beef steaks and mushroom gravy, you can add some additional ingredients and spices. Consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the mushroom gravy mixture for a tangy and savory kick. You can also sprinkle some dried thyme or rosemary over the beef steaks before pouring the gravy on top. These herbs will infuse the meat with a delightful aroma and add depth to the overall dish.

For a touch of sweetness, you can incorporate a tablespoon of brown sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup into the mushroom gravy. This will balance out the savory flavors and create a more complex taste profile.

To make the dish heartier, you can add some diced onions or bell peppers to the mushroom gravy. Sauté them along with the mushrooms until they are soft and translucent. This will not only add texture but also provide a burst of flavor to the dish.

Lastly, if you prefer a thicker gravy, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking. This will help thicken the gravy and give it a luscious consistency.

Transfer the cooled leftovers into freezer-safe containers or bags, making sure to remove any excess air to prevent freezer burn. Frozen leftovers can be stored for up to 2-3 months.

When reheating the leftovers, make sure to heat them thoroughly until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are safe to eat. You can reheat them in the microwave, on the stovetop, or in the oven.
