Slow Cooker Tender and Yummy Round Steak Recipe

I have made a basic recipe of beef, onion soup mix, and cream of mushroom soup for years. NEVER THOUGHT of adding the potatoes and carrots......THIS BROUGHT THE DISH TO LIFE!!!! A small suggestion for those that prefer a more "beefy" version of the gravy is to add a package of beef gravy along with a cup of water.

What a great recipe - The meat fell apart it was so tender and the gravy was delicious. I doubled the recipe for mushroom soup - 2 cans and 1 cup water (Not onion soup mix)and added a stalk of chopped celery and sliced fresh mushrooms.Also instead of water you can add 1 can of LOW Sodium beef broth. Cooked it on high for 5 hours, adding the carrots(small bag of baby carrots) and potatoes for the last 2 hours. I made fresh bread to suck up the gravy. YUMMY!!!.Thank you for sharing this recipe Katy. I just want to add that I smushed my potatoes before taking the photo - I was so hungry from the smell I almost forgot to take the photo.

This recipe was the inspiration for our supper tonight. I made it in my electric pressure cooker more as a stew. It took about 40 minutes total including the time it took for the cooker to pressure up in the beginning and for thickening at the end. I mostly followed the ingredients with these exceptions: cut the meat into bite size (stew) pieces; browned it on my cooker's sauté setting after sautéing a half of a quartered onion; threw in one chopped stalk of celery; left out the potatoes; and in lieu of water I used half and half beef and chicken broth (only because I had a tad bit of both in my fridge and wanted to use it up before I opened something new). I put everything in my cooker and used the meat/stew program key and adjusted the time for 27 minutes on high pressure. When it beeped done, I did a quick pressure release and used the sauté function with corn starch+water to thicken the juices. While thickening I threw in some frozen peas. I served it over rotini pasta and my family chowed it down.

An almost perfect recipe! The modifications that I did and recommend is adding an extra can of cream of mushroom, replacing the water with a can of beef broth, and tossing in a few chopped celery stocks. I also added a dash of Worcestershire sauce, 2 minced cloves of garlic, and black pepper to the sauce for extra flavor. I cooked it on low for 6 hours and then took the meat out and shredded it (It was really tender!) before stirring it back in. I made a side a rice that did an amazing job with absorbing the excess broth from the stew.

Really good. I did 2 cans of cream of mushroom and I can of cream of chicken and 1 quartered onion. Added 1/3 can of chicken broth instead of water. 3 steaks and seasoned steaks with seasoned salt, pepper, minced garlic, and steak seasoning before adding to crock pot - put in 1/2 bag baby carrots and 5 peeled and chunked potatoes after 4 hours cooking and cooked for a total of 8 hours. Came out great and sauce was wonderfully thick and rich. Husband ate every bite.

I love this recipe! I didn't think round steak could taste this good. i followed the recipe pretty closely, but I didn't have an instant onion soup packet handy...so I used 1/4 cup dried minced onion, 1 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried parsley, 1 tsp salt and 1 beef boullion cube as a substitute instead. I followed other reviewers' suggestions and didn't add the veggies until later--I cooked the meat in my crockpot on low for 10 hours total, adding the veggies when I only had 3 1/2 hours left of cook time. Super glad I did, as the vegetables were still super soft and almost mushy by then. The gravy was a little bit runny after cooking, so at the end of the 10 hours I removed the meat and veggies from the crockpot onto a serving dish, then whisked in some tapioca starch (I'm sure cornstarch or flour would work fine as well) into the sauce so that the gravy would thicken up a bit. The meat was super tender, and the husband approved as well. It's a winner!

So so TENDER! The meat just fell apart. Like many other reviewers, I made some adjustments. I seasoned my meat a bit on both sides (garlic powder, onion power, pinch of Lawry’s). I used a couple splashes of Worcester sauce, 1 onion beef Gravy packet, and some beef bone broth. I also used more like 1 cup of water total. When I seasoned my meat I used a bit of butt on it as well (I saw another reviewer used olive oil). I chopped up fresh cloves of garlic and fresh mushroom. I cooked the carrots separate, along with asparagus and mashed potatoes. My family LOVED it! I will be cooking it again for sure! This was the only cut of steak left after the panic shoppers before our state shutdown as a result of this pandemic. So I have lots more in the freezer. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Here is a picture

Excellent! I had 2 one pound pieces of round steak. I followed the directions, except I only had beefy onion soup. I sprinkled some of the soup mix between the two pieces and stacked them. After it had cooked about 6 hours, I added another can of soup and the potatoes and carrots. After it cooked another 3-4 hours, I let it cool so I could slice the meat. I added some beef bouillon crystals, then thickened the juices with corn starch and this made the most incredible tasting gravy. We had open faced beef sandwiches (on toast) and it was delicious. I was surprised at how tender and tasty the round steak was. Definitely a keeper!

I made this today following the recipe as it is except I did do as one person commented and I skipped the onion soup mix, used 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and beef broth in place of water as I had 3 pounds of meat. I also added 2 stalks celery and 4 chopped garlic cloves to the soup mixture. I used a liner bag in the crock pot and layered as directed. It only cooked about 4 1/2 hours and everything was done so I set my pot on warm as dinner was 2 hours away. This was absolutely fabulous! The meat was so tender no knife was needed. I was concerned that my veggies would be mush as some had said, but they were just perfect. Others browned the meat. I didn't.I did use a meat mallet to tenderize the meat I wonder if this is what made it so tender-like roast. I made a gravy out of the sauce. My hubby loved it so much. I have never made round steak this tender. Will be making this again.

This recipe does wonders to inexpensive cuts of meat such beef round bottom round steaks (got mine from Sams club). I did run about 1.5 hours short on time so here is what I did. I placed baby carrots & yellow onions on bottom, cut steaks into 4in by 4in pieces and layered on top of veggies. Used beef broth, soup mix & mushroom soup on top and set on high for 1.5 hours then changed to low setting for another 5 hours. Added sliced raw mushrooms in last 40 minutes. My carrot did not turn out mushy as others said. Steak, to my surprise, was tender enough to shred by fork and had great flavor! Even my 3 year old loved it and he doesn't eat much meat. I served with mashed potatoes & french bread yummy! Also, you can make thicker gravy out of the crock pot sauce.. was overall VERY good dish for not a lot of work or money =) I'm writing this review as I'm eating the leftovers for lunch the next day, just as good!

Turned out wonderfully. Used beef broth, as suggested, and cooked for 4 1/2 hours on low for 1 lb. Waited until the last 2 hours to add the potatoes (didn't use carrots) and a small can of mushrooms. Beef was fall-apart tender. Great quick and easy recipe for a cheap cut of meat.

Quick, easy, and DELICIOUS! 🤤

For years I've made smothered steak in the oven. This is the first time I've made it in a slow cooker and added the onion soup mix. My husband who never cared for smothered steak LOVED it. I'm guessing it's the onion soup mix that did the trick.. I loved the ease of dumping everything into the slow cooker, walking away knowing dinner was taking care of itself.

Delicious

There is so much more needed for this recipe. This particular steak needs to be way more cut down if you want it juicy. Add Worcestershire, cooking sherry, extra mushrooms, sriracha and ground black pepper.

Granted I did not have cream of mushroom soup and used what I had on hand which was beefy mushroom soup. It was terrible. I just couldn’t eat it.

Everyone was impressed — I’m proud.

turned out good

We are redoing our kitchen so I'm looking for recipes that are easy to make, easy cleanup, and that are tasty. This hit the mark. I'm feeding 10 so it was easy to double the recipe. I used Lipton Beefy Onion soup mix instead of fresh onion and took hints from other reviews and used beef broth (and a bit of water to make sure my meat was covered). I also used Golden mushroom soup as something different.I'm not sure it made a huge difference. Instead of cooking potatoes with the meat (didn't have room in the slow cooker), I served with mashed potatoes. It was really great. My hubby is VERY picky and his comment about the dinner was that he was thinking about ways to "improve it". I told him if he had to "think about it" the meal was a win. All the kiddos enjoyed it too. Will be making again.

Very disappointed flavor. To be honest I was very skeptic since I saw cans and dry mixtures ... even though, I tried but result was not good at ALL!!
