Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 lb beef round steak, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1.5 tsp kosher salt divided between both sides of steak
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cup sliced yellow onion
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms white or cremini
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard optional for tang
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch for thickening
  • 2 tbsp water for slurry
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Pat the steak dry, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear steak 2–3 minutes per side.
  • Place onions and mushrooms in the slow cooker. Scatter the garlic over top.
  • Whisk broth, condensed soup, Worcestershire, Dijon, thyme, and onion powder until smooth.
  • Set the seared steak on the vegetables. Pour the gravy mixture over everything.
  • Cover and cook on Low 7–8 hours or High 3–4 hours, until fork-tender.
  • Stir cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir it into the cooking liquid.
  • Switch to High and cook 10–15 minutes, until the gravy thickens.
  • Slice or shred the steak and return it to the gravy. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Variation: Add a splash of soy sauce for extra savoriness, or swap cream of mushroom with cream of chicken for a lighter flavor. Serve over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or rice. Leftovers keep 3–4 days chilled or freeze up to 2 months.
