This slow cooker steak and gravy is the perfect meal for a cold fall or winter day. Just throw it all together in the crock pot, and you'll come home to a delicious hot meal. It's also an excellent cold weather dish. Set the slow cooker on low and spend the day skiing or sliding with your family. Cook the potatoes about 20 minutes before the steak and gravy are ready.

The recipe calls for cream of mushroom soup, but if you (or members of your family) aren't a fan of mushrooms, use cream of celery or cream of chicken. See the tips for a homemade option.

Serve the steak and gravy with creamy garlic mashed potatoes, a rice dish, or noodles. Serve a simple salad or steamed vegetables on the side or make a vegetable casserole.

Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and dip them in the flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook the steaks for about 3 minutes per side, or until browned.

Recipe Variations

Instead of onion gravy, make the steak and gravy with a packet of mushroom gravy or plain brown gravy.
Sauté about 6 to 8 ounces of mushrooms in a small amount of butter or oil until softened. Add them to the sauce mixture.
Add about 1 cup of sliced onions to the slow cooker before adding the steak.
Replace the round steak with top sirloin, flank steak, London broil, or lean chuck steak.

Tips

Condensed "cream of" soups are frequently used in slow cooker dishes because they stand up well under long cooking, whereas a dairy-based sauce would break down and curdle. If you prefer a homemade sauce, consider making a thick velouté sauce. In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and then add 4 tablespoons of flour; cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and cook until thick. Replace the cream of mushroom soup with this mixture and then add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the dish about 5 minutes before it is ready.

How to Store

If there are any leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days.
