Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Swiss Steak with Onions.
Step 1
To start your delicious cube steak dish, grab a shallow bowl and mix together some flour, salt, dry mustard, and black pepper.
Step 2
This flavorful blend will give your steaks a delightful coating.
Step 3
Next, take your cube steaks and dredge them in the flour mixture, making sure they’re fully covered for that perfect crispy texture.
Step 4
Now, heat up some vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the coated cube steaks.
Step 6
Sear them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 7
Once browned, transfer the steaks to a slow cooker, but don’t forget to keep those tasty drippings in the skillet—they’re packed with flavor! In the same skillet, toss in sliced onions and minced garlic, sautéing them in the reserved drippings over medium heat.
Step 8
Cook until they’re softened, which should take around 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 9
Once they’re ready, add this aromatic mixture to the slow cooker and set aside any leftover oil.
Step 10
Now, in a large bowl, combine beef broth and tomato paste, stirring until the paste is fully dissolved.
Step 11
To this, add diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, and oregano, mixing everything together.
Step 12
Pour this savory concoction over the steaks in the slow cooker, ensuring they’re well covered.
Step 13
Finally, cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or until the meat is so tender it practically falls apart.
Step 14
As the hours pass, your kitchen will fill with mouthwatering aromas, making the wait all the more worthwhile.
Step 15
Enjoy your hearty meal!.
