Crock Pot Steak and Gravy always comes out tender and flavorful. It is so easy to make with only 3 ingredients! A perfect supper for busy weeknights.
Crock Pot Steak and Gravy
I was introduced to this 3 ingredient Crock Pot Steak and Gravy by a good friend of mine, Rashona, many years ago. It was a busy time in my life and she suggested this recipe to use for those crazy days when you just don’t have time to make dinner later in the day. I have made it countless times over the years and it always turns out rich, tender and absolutely delicious. My family gobbles it up; it’s one of their most requested dinners!
This slow cooker steak and gravy recipe could not be easier to make. Toss in three (THREE!) ingredients into the crock pot first thing in the morning. It cooks all day and the welcoming scent wafts through the house, making it seem like you spent hours making an extravagant meal. It is such a comfort to walk in the door after a long, busy day and realize dinner is ready!
Suggestions for this Recipe
- This steak and gravy recipe works very well with London broil or top sirloin steaks. I usually just shop around for whichever is on sale and buy extra to put in the freezer for the next time I want to use it in my meal rotation.
- We love serving the thick, creamy steak and gravy over over rice I make in the rice cooker, which is also an easy thing to throw together. My family loves serving it alongside buttery mashed potatoes, but it would also be delicious over pasta, thick toast, or just by itself with a side of broccoli or green beans.
- If you wanted to get fancy you could add sliced onions or mushrooms to the crock pot for added flavor.
- Slicing your steak into thin strips will help speed up the cooking process and ensure super tender, fall apart meat every time.

Could you use cubed steak?
Favorite Family Recipes says
I haven’t tried it with cubed steak before, but let me know how it turns out if you do try it!
Kumu says
Do you have to stir occassionally? Id like to throw it in the crockpot before I leave for work and want it to be warm and ready when I get home and I get home after 8-hours. Does it still come out okay?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes, it should be fine! Just make sure you distribute the ingredients evenly in the pot.
Gina Cox says
Hi,
I live in Australia and we don’t have Au Jus mix ( I have no idea what that is so cannot substitute it). So can you give me an idea what I could I could use instead of that please. I’d be very grateful, as the dish looks fantastic and sounds lovely too. I’d really like to try it.
Thanks for you help

I haven’t tried making my own, but I saw on another website that you can use the following:
Beef stock powder – 3 to 4 tablespoons
Onion powder – 3 to 4 tablespoons
Dried parsley – 2 and a half tablespoons
Corn starch – 3 to 4 tablespoons
Black pepper – ¼ tablespoons
Garlic powder – ¼ tablespoons
Michele says
I have this in my crockpot now. I am using Sizzle steak. I added onion, black pepper, garlic powder. Can’t wait to place this on top of mashed taters. Yummy 😋
Margie K says
I used ribeye steak its all i had on hand will this still turn out alright?
Favorite Family Recipes says
It should! Did it go okay?
Sondra says
Yummy! I added a can of Cream of Mushroom soup to thicken the gravy.
Deanna says
Smells so good! It’s been cooking 8 hours but the gravy is not thick. Anyone have this problem?
Angie Gerhart says
I added cornstarch a little bit at a time. Mix it in and let it cook some more to thicken gravy.
Angie says
Very easy and tasty meal.
Sandra says
Hi what is Au Jus mix please
Favorite Family Recipes says
It is a sauce mix that you can find near the gravy mix in the grocery store.
Kelly says
Juice….Not available in Aust supermarkets! Any substitute ingredient please
Favorite Family Recipes says
You can use beef bouillon instead! Hope this helps!
Nancy Clark says
Absolutely love the taste. Tender every time!! Will make this recipe a staple!
Jennifer says
An instant classic!
Just soooo good!
My husband couldn’t get enough, one if his favorites ever!
I used top sirloin and only had 1 1/4 pounds and was just great.
Elly says
This looks absolutely delicious. Will definitely have to give it a try one night when I’m short of time and want a yummy meal!
Lisa | Garlic & Zest says
My mouth is watering just looking at this. I just want to sop up the gravy with a piece of bread.
Bintu | Recipes From A Pantry says
Such a comforting meal for the family at this time of year! I love that you only need a few ingredients.
Jessica Formicola says
Comfort foods are my favorite, but most of them take a ton of time to make. I’m so glad this can be made in the crock pot!
Christy says
Does this freeze well?
Favorite Family Recipes says
I haven’t tried to freeze this recipe before, so I can’t say. Let us know how it goes if you do try it!
RUSSELL ANDREW says
Hello, I sliced a 3lb london broil thin, put in crock pot, added the two packets, one packet, and 2 1/2 cups of water.
I don’t have the time for 8-10 hours on low. I have a 5 -6 hour cooking window.
What cooking time would you suggest on high, or a combo of high & low?
Thank you
Favorite Family Recipes says
I think it would be okay on high!
Keith says
Added lots of mushrooms and medium onion more water and cooked longer on low setting. Used a tuff steak sliced thin but was very tender when done. Will make again.
Aj says
Hello I can’t find Au Jus mix anywhere, I have some in a glass jar can I use that and add it in at the same time? Thanks!
Favorite Family Recipes says
I’m not sure, is it Au Jus mix in a glass jar? Or is it already made up as a liquid?
candace says
My husband doesn’t want the meat so tender it falls apart like shredded beef. So should I cut the meat a little thicker or in cubes instead? Or maybe not cook it as long? Trying to figure out what I need to adjust. Thanks
Favorite Family Recipes says
Hmm… I’m not sure. When we make this recipe we try to make it as tender as possible, so I haven’t tried it that way. I would guess if you cooked it for less time, it wouldn’t be as tender. Let me know if you do try it!
Donna M Vignapiano says
Thicker chunks. Check on it after 6/7 hrs.
marda says
I just saw an ad for “Beef Shaved Steak” at my local Kroger store. I have never seen that before, but beef is scares due to the grocery stores meat limits during these trying times. I was wondering if it would work in this recipe. Please let me know, thanks!
Echo Blickenstaff says
Yes! I’m sure it would work great. Because the beef is slices so thin, it will not need to cook as long in the crock pot however. I would cook it on low for 5-6 hours, and on high 2-3 hours. Thanks for asking!
Nicole says
We have a 3 lb boneless striploin – would that work?
Favorite Family Recipes says
I don’t see why not! Just make sure you slice it thin!
Linda says
Can I make this in oven
Favorite Family Recipes says
We haven’t tried it that way before, so I am not sure how it would affect the taste or texture. If you try it, let us know!
Steven McAllister Linebaugh says
Would you add mushrooms the last 2 hours?
Favorite Family Recipes says
I would add mushrooms at the beginning! That way you get the amazing flavor all cooked in!
Denise says
Quick question, it says to up the meat if making for more people. I would definitely have to make for 6-8, which is 4 pounds of steak. Do we not use anymore gravy mix or Au Ju or liquid?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes! So you’d need 3 packets of gravy mix, 1 and 1/3 packets of au jus, and 3 1/3 cups of water. Hope this helps!
Jeanine says
I wish I had seen this before I just now made it. I had 4-1/2 pounds of top sirloin. So I doubled the Sauce part recipe. Hope this turns out ok. Just now put in crock pot. Hope it’s not too strong of a gravy taste.
Favorite Family Recipes says
In my opinion, you can never have too much sauce! I hope it turned out well!
Nate says
What if I don’t have Au jus mix. Can I use bone broth instead?
Favorite Family Recipes says
We haven’t tried that specific variation, so I can’t speak to how it will affect the taste or texture of the recipe.
scott says
so you dont pre-brown the steak at all before cutting it in slices? the meat turned out very dry for me. using top sirloin. anyone know why? i cooked it on low for 6 hrs.
Favorite Family Recipes says
The thinner you can slice the meat beforehand, the more tender it will be!
Gary says
Is the meat frozen or thaw?
Favorite Family Recipes says
I use thawed meat.
Qiana says
I want to try to make this tonight. If I wanted to use beef broth instead of au jus, what could I use instead of a gravy mix packet? Sometimes there’s too much sodium and would prefer to substitute if I can. Can I do a slurry if some kind with cornstarch? What would you suggest?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yeah, I would try 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/4 cup water for your slurry. Let me know how it turns out!
Kimberly says
Hello,
I was wondering for this recipe, can you also add carrots and potatoes and celery? I am not a big fan on veggies but i will eat them in a stew or like this. I had planned on making rice. Picky picky eater here. But this actually caught my attention.
Echo Blickenstaff says
Yes, you can add vegetables to the crock pot, but if you cook the vegetables all day they will be very soft and mushy. Add the vegetables halfway through the cooking time. They shouldn’t be in the crockpot for longer than 4 hours on low. Thanks for asking!
Kimberly K Brown says
Thank you so much for letting me know. I am making this for tonight’s dinner.
Terri B Gehrke says
I have it in my crockpot now, it is not sliced and i added an onion, beef broth, carrots and garlic. I will let you know, but I think itll be delicious. Would be good with sliced mushrooms added too.
Tonya says
Terri B Gehrke, howd the steak turn out not sliced? I hate handling raw meat. Would be so much easier to not cut it. Thx!
Carolina says
Can I cook this on high for 4-6 hours?
Favorite Family Recipes says
It won’t be as tender if you cook it that way, but you can give it a try!
Tabatha says
Can this be made in an instant pot? If so, how?
Favorite Family Recipes says
I haven’t tried it in the instant pot. I am worried that the thickeners in the brown gravy mix would burn in the instant pot. Let me know how it turns out if you do try it!
Laura Hippen says
Has anyone tried this by adding onions? I love onions and think they would be a great addition. I would want to use a vidalia or some kind of a sweet onion to try to balance out some of the sodium from the Au Jus and gravy mix.
Beth W says
If I use London Broil, as I plan to when I make this, how will it turn out if I don’t slice the steak before placing it in the crockpot?
Favorite Family Recipes says
We have only used thinly sliced steak in this recipe. Slicing the steak gives the meat more surface area to soak in all the liquid and makes it more tender. I would definitely recommend slicing it!
Sandy says
Very delicious, economical, and easy!
Made with nice creamy, buttery mashed potatoes and baby peas.
Just a few words of helpful advice… I had to slightly improvise due to my miscalculation of ingredients- I only had liquid au jus which equals approximately 1.5 cups, I accidentally put an additional 1 cup beef broth to equal the 2.5 cups needed in recipe not accounting for the liquid au jus I already added- so you can just add another package of gravy -* reduced sodium is what I had and it was to me the best way to balance it out… just a note for the people that only have liquid because it is really easy to overlook the measurements.
You really can’t mess up this recipe. Oh and also, like someone already mentioned cutting the meat in a semi frozen state is the way to go. Just thaw it out / marinate in the refrigerator before adding to crock pot.
Jennifer Allen says
Ok, when your boyfriend says it’s better anything that he’s mom makes as she is standing over your shoulder. Could eat every day and only takes a few things…. High 5!
Teresa says
Delicious! Used the top sirloin sliced thinly. Did not make any changes to recipe but cooked on low 8 hours while at work. So tender and good! Will definitely be fixing again.
Eliza says
Should I add more sauce stuff if adding onion and mushrroms
Favorite Family Recipes says
I think you should be okay. It is a very saucy recipe!
Eliza says
How much onion and mushrooms do aff
Sheri says
Easy to do, my husband typically doesn’t like meat cooked in a crockpot but enjoyed this. The only thing I would change is to use a low sodium gravy packet.
Kathy says
Absolutely delicious !!! I used the left over meat and made soft shell tacos the next night.
M.l. Prachar says
My people go crazy for this recipe.Put over mash potatoes.So simple so easy so delishes.Thank you.I have very picky people that if it doesn’t ckne out of a clowns mouth have troible eatting anything.They ask for this recipe.
Valerie says
Isn’t it wonderful to walk in the house to the aroma of a great supper all ready to sit down to? Here’s another, similar recipe that I use for pot roast. Throw the meat in the crockpot (can sear it if you’re that ambitious) a pack of dry onion soup mix, a pack of dry beef gravy mix that’s been mixed in half a cup of water, a can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of coke. Add your cut up veggies like carrots, potatoes, and celery. Delicious.
Tim says
I enjoyed this recipe but I couldn’t get the juices to thicken until I added flour and cornstarch. I made this to surprise the wife with a meal after work but she did not like it because she said it tasted the same as a roast; she obviously is not a fan of roast. However, From my perspective this was a good recipe.
Vallerie Nikirk says
This recipe was simple and delicious. At the end of the cooking time, I added cooked noodles and let them soak up that gravy flavor. Served with sour cream in top. A great beef stroganoff revamped.
Erica Walker says
Love those ideas! Glad it was a hit!
Debbie Shaffer says
I made this last night and we thought it was very good and easy to put together. I will be making this again.
Erica Walker says
So glad you liked it! Thanks for the 5-stars!
KN says
Hi there, do you mix the gravy and AuJus packet according to the packet directions OR do you just add the 2.5 cups of water and then the packets?
Erica says
Just the 2.5 cups and then the packets. You don’t need to cook according to package directions. Hope this helps!
Michael says
Hello,
your recipe caught my eye, so I decided to mosey on over to the Thriftway next door and take the ingredients into custody. After staring at the extensive gravy selection for five minutes I decided to substitute one of the brown gravies for a packet of mushroom gravy. For meat I am using two organic sirloin strips and one tenderloin. I know that’s overkill but they were in my freezer and needed to be used. I didn’t feel comfortable throwing red meat into the crock without seasoning, searing and cutting it into pieces first. Two and a half cups of liquid seems like a lot for the pot compared to the usual one half to a cup. So, I cut a large onion into thirds, then in half and piled the pieces on the bottom of the pot for the meat to use as a floatation device. I am a little skeptical of the gravy graduating from crockpot U. I hope I am proven wrong, gravy usually requires reduction on the stovetop, uncovered and stirring at boiling in order to thicken. However, I figure no big whoop, I’ll throw the juice in a saucepan after the fact and burn it down to satisfaction if needed.
Anyhoo, thanks for the idea, three ingredients is two more than I can usually handle, I’ll let you know how it dishes out!
Favorite Family Recipes says
Let us know how it turned out for you!
Lois Satterfield says
Trying to do Keto and low carb, how can I adjust the gravy? I have been searching for a cube steak recipe for low carb. Any suggestions! Please help!
Favorite Family Recipes says
You could just use beef base and add some pureed onions. This will help thicken it up, though the consistency might not be the same. You could also try thickening with almond flour– haven’t tried this before but it’s worth a shot. Hope this helps!
Valerie Joy says
I just found this recipe, and I am sold! Since my hubby got false teeth, steak is very hard for him to chew. This was the ticket!! We don’t care for beef gravy, so I used Homestyle, and added a little sour cream when it was fully cooked. This was a hit with my hubby and son. I will be making this again! Thanks!!
Favorite Family Recipes says
So glad you and your family liked this recipe! Thanks for sharing how you were able to make it work so well for you and your family 🙂
Sarah Krudener says
Would chuck steak work for this recipe? Thank you!
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes, a chuck steak would work great in this recipe. It is cooked long enough in the crock pot to make the cut tender and flavorful. Thanks for asking!
Stacey says
I’m using cubed steaks and the 3 ingredients does the time change on how long to cook it
Favorite Family Recipes says
The time can actually stay the same. Hope this helps!
Kyree says
Could I use beef stock in place of au jus?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes, that would probably be fine. Beef consomme might work a little better just because it has more flavor than just plain stock, but I am sure beef stock would be ok too!
Robin says
I just put this in crock pot, I only had 1packet of brown gravy so I used that, added Lipton onion soup, red wine, onions,peppers, tomatoes and a few other things. Going to add potatoes I think? I’m the worlds worst at adding whatever I see. I hope this turns out good enough to eat? Wish me luck????. Next time I planonhaving the right ingredients. Thanks for the awesome recipe! I’m always trying something new especially crock pot recipes.
Favorite Family Recipes says
Hey Robin! How did it turn out for you? The additions you made sound wonderful! Let us know how it worked out for you!
Jenna says
Do you think I could include vegetables into the pot with the steak? Carrots and potatoes maybe?
Favorite Family Recipes says
absolutely! That would be delicious!
Michele says
I’m pregnant and would like to freeze everything to be able to take it out and throw in the crock pot after I have her. Anything I should leave out and add just before putting it in the crock pot?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Nope! This is a great one to freeze. You should be good to go!
AnnaMaria says
It’s alot of meat for 2-3 people who are light eaters. Should I half the recipe or does it freeze well? Thanks!
Favorite Family Recipes says
Yes, you can cut the recipe in half. And yes, you should be able to freeze this and it should still taste great 😀
Jamie says
I made this exactly with thin cut steak on high for 2 half hours
Made mashed potatoes it turned out wonderful no changes.
Thankyou
Favorite Family Recipes says
Thanks Jamie! I’ve always cooked this on low because I’ve made it in the morning. It’s good to know it can cook that quickly on high. I’m glad you like the recipe!
John M says
I thin sliced a yellow onion and ring sliced a bell pepper; layered meat, onions, and pepper in the pot; then covered them with the gravy mixes and added water. Who needs potatoes anyway? Wonderful results.
Echo says
John, that sounds amazing! I’ll try it. Thank you for sharing!
Shawn says
This was excellent! (followed exactly)
Tara says
Love love love! Tried this a few weeks ago for the first time and fell in love. I’m currently pregnsnt and this is all I want to eat! I follow the recipe exactly and make no changes or add anything and it turns out perfect! Make this easily once a week. 5/5
Echo says
I’m so glad you like the recipe! Congratulations on being pregnant!
Elvina says
I forgot to cut the steak. Do you think I need to adjust cooking time? I am cooking it on high for 4 hours right now.
Echo says
I think it will be fine on high for 4 hours. If you are nervous about it, slice into the meat about 30 minutes before it’s done cooking. If it’s still pink in the middle, pull it out and slice it and then cook for 30 more minutes. Good luck!
Elaine says
i love the recipe but it’s not thick, what do I do to make it thicker?
Echo says
The thickness of the gravy could have something to do with the brand of gravy and Au Jus mix. To thicken, mix 1 Tbsp of corn starch with 1 Tbsp of COLD water. When the corn starch is dissolved, add the mixture to the gravy. Thank you for asking!
Melissa says
I actually just reduced the amount of water in mine because I had the same problem.
Jenn says
Have any of you tried this with stew meat? I have a bunch to use up.
Echo says
I haven’t tried it with stew meat, but I think it should work just fine. Necessity is the mother of invention – and I think using your stew meat in this recipe would be a great idea!
Terry Brown says
Wonderful base recipe. I made it exactly per instructions the first time. Since then I have used so many variables especially for the gravy. I make a lot more gravy now, 6 cups, because my family likes the gravy almost as much as the meat.
I almost always have the sirloin in the freezer in foodsaver bags, I take it out and place it under running COLD water (yes, cold water thaws faster than hot and doesn’t start cooking the meat) to thaw just enough to cut. I cube mine to approximate a bite sized piece after cooking.
If I’m going to add mushrooms, onion, whatever, I brown them in a couple tsp of bacon grease (any cooking oil will do) while the meat is thawing and set aside. Then brown the meat over medium heat in the same skillet with all the tasty bits still in the pan. You may need to add a bit more bacon grease/oil.
No matter how I’m going to make it now, I always brown the meat so I can make my own au jus. After browning all the meat, remove, and set aside. Deglaze the pan immediately with 2 cups of any liquid you have on hand, be it water, broth, wine, combination of any…almost anything will do, scrape the bottom of the pan to lift all the tasty bits, and poof!, just like that you have your own homemade au jus. Pour off into at least a 2 cup measuring cup. You need to know how much you have.
I always have different favors of packaged gravy mix on hand for when I’m too lazy to make from scratch. I have even used a combination of them when I didn’t have enough of any one kind. In fact, I’m making this right now, using 1 each beef, turkey, chicken and country gravy mixes. The beef mix makes 1 cup, the others make 2 cups each, so the family will be getting 7 cups yummy gravy total. You will need the same amount liquid total that your packaged mixes call for.
Empty your mix packets into the crock pot, and whisk together. (if using 1 kind, you don’t have to do this) then add a bit of cold water..I used half a cup right off because I have so much mix. Measure all water you add so you don’t go over the package directions, and don’t forget you already have 2 cups au jus standing by. Whisk into mix until it gets thick add, more water, whisk just until you are satisfied all the mix has combined. Take a spoon and run it around the bottom inside edge of the crockpot to bring up any dry mix lurking where the whisk can’t get to…there is always some. Whisk that in. Nothing worse than lumpy gravy. Add the au jus, and enough water, if necessary to come to the amount needed per package mix directions. Add the meat, and anything else you’ve set aside, put on the lid, set on low or below 200 if yours has degree settings for 8 hrs.
If you are only making say 2 cups, you won’t need to add anything but your au jus to the mix. But it has to be at least room temperature. If you add it hot to the mix you will get instant lumps, and you’ll have to vigorously whisk till your arms fall off to get rid of the lumps.
I have also used various cream of whatever condensed soups to make the gravy, alone and in combination. This also works well with chops and chicken. You just have to experiment, and have family (or dogs) willing to eat your less stellar experiments. Honestly, I’ve never had one that was inedible.
Thanks again for a great recipe.
njjjjh says
I didn’t have the gravy mixes so used 2 cans of Campbells “Golden Mushroom Soup” also added a tsp of horse raddish……….excellent! Thank you!
sarah says
Can it be country gravy?
Echo says
I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure it would work just fine. It will obviously have a different flavor than if you used beef gravy. Let me know how it turns out!
Lisa says
I must be having a moment 😉 Does this call for Two 3# steaks or a 2# to 3# steak (2 – 3 lbs. . . . ) Sorry & Thank You 🙂 I look forward to making this for dinner next week 🙂
Echo says
Sorry for the confusion! You can use 2 to 3 pounds of steak for the corresponding amounts of mixes and water. If you use more than 3 pounds of steak, you will want to add more mix and water. Thank you for asking!
Lisa Blackney says
My husband got ground sirloin instead of steaks. Will it still work?
Favorite Family Recipes says
We haven’t tried it that way before, but I don’t see why not! Let us know how it goes if you try it!
Rey says
I have the brown gravy but no Au jus would this still work out? Also do you think this would go well for pork chops?
Erica says
We haven’t tried any of those adjustments before so I’m not quite sure how it would turn out. IF you try it, let us know the adjustments you made and how it tasted!
Denise says
Here is a recipe for pork chops grill or brown pork chops. Then put in crockpot . Take two big cans of cream and mushroom soup . Cover the pork chops with soup. Cook 8 to 10 hours . Serve white rice or wild rice . Enjoy.
Lana says
I have this in my slow cooker right now. With the heat in Texas these days, a crock pot meal is just the ticket! Made it exactly as the recipe suggests, but one of the comments mentioned onions and mushrooms, and that might be an option for another day. Can’t wait to try it tonight. Noodles or rice…still to be decided!
Echo says
How did it turn out? I love it over both noodles and rice. I hope it was delicious – and I hope it cools down in Texas! Hurray for Fall!
Anna says
I make something similar to this, but use a can of Beefy mushroom soup and sauteed mushroom and onions, after I brown the meat. It’s such good comfort food over rice.
Susan says
I just came across this recipe and was wondering if I put the saute onion and mushrooms in the crock pot as well??
Kathy says
Made this last night and the family loved it ! I bought the low sodium gravy packet. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks so much.
Kathy says
Making this today ! Can’t wait to try it. Its so hot out and this looks so easy. Thanks for sharing this.
Emily says
You’re welcome!
Amanda says
Would you brown the steak on both sides before cooking in the crock pot?
Emily says
No, we just slice up the steak and throw it in.
fmandds says
Wonderful recipe! My family enjoyed it and it is as easy as it sounds.
Kayte says
Hi! Think I could cook this on high for 4 hours?!
Echo says
Yes, you could! Most crock pot recipes can be adjusted to cook on high for half the time it cooks on low. It’s the beauty of using a crock pot – you can make it fit your schedule!
Caroline says
Sadly we don’t have 2 of them ingredients in the UK what would u use instead of brown gravy mix and au jus mix?
Erica says
Hmm. I’m not exactly sure- you may just have to make a homemade gravy and have it simmer in that! :S Sorry we couldn’t be of more help!
Joy says
Use bisto.
Angie says
We use a cup of red wine with 1 and a galf cup of beef broth. 2 tbsp of cornstarch. Perfect every time. Sliced mushroom..onion..clove of garlic.
Nicole says
How long do you have to broil the steak for?
Erica says
London broil is just the cut of steak you can use– you don’t broil it. It just cooks in the crock pot. Hope this helps!
Anne says
Does the steak have to be sliced ahead of time, or can you put the full roast into the crock pot?
Echo says
I always slice the steak before putting it in the crockpot so it is ready to serve but, I’m sure it would be fine if you sliced it after too. After cooking on low all day, the meat will fall apart in chunks very easily.
sally says
you cut the beef b/4 you put it in the crockpot?
Echo says
Yes, I cut the meat before putting it in the crockpot.
Earlene says
If you’ll semi-freeze the meat, it will be much easier to slice.
sally says
U cut the beef b/4 you cook it in the crockpot?
Wilson Martin says
Pulling a steak from the freezer and this will be Monday night supper.
deb says
any substitues for the gravy and an jus mixes please???
Emily says
You could try beef broth or beef consume thickened with some cornstarch.
JenW says
I use Better Than Bullion Beef Base, add a little corn strach to thicken – sould be perfect. It has better ‘beefy’ flavor that packets.
SuzyF says
I use a package of onion soup mix and a can of cream of mushroom instead of the brown gravy and au jus.
Emily says
How did that turn out?
Sandy R says
I forsee a couple of additions to my shopping list for the afternoon….Thanks!
Kim Clark says

the juice left when you make a roast beef, or it comes in a package, too………….
Audrey Vandenbusch says
I haven’t tried this recipe yet. But sure looks yummy.
Gina says
I wonder if this would be good for Easter. I’m expecting a large group and thinking of serving this and a ham for meat choices. Would this be nice served in a warmed serving dish, perhaps with rice and green beans?
Erica says
That sounds perfect! I think that would be really good for an Easter dinner. 🙂 Great idea!
Michelle says
Incompetent home cook question… is the steak raw or cooked when you put it in the crockpot?
Favorite Family Recipes says

Matt Robinson says
I don’t care what time of year it is, I love comfort food like this. This recipe is awesome, so easy too!
Mary says
You could add a bottle of beer to it too along with beef base and some onions to tenderize it,If you want to do an Irish stew I’ll throw in a can of Guinness and it turns out really nice!
Marty says
I threw in a can of Guinness too, but missed the crockpot… So, I added another can Guinness. Still want to try your recipe though.
Sand says
This was delicious…as is…if I hear one more grown adult say ” yummy” I will lose it though…
Nina says
Easy and awesome! I add onion to mine.
Lori J says
This is delicious! Just the way it is. My mom makes it often, and my husband asked me to make it.
Unfortunately I’m NOT a cook. Instead of calling my mom for the exact directions I found this recipe . I threw all the ingredients in the crockpot without mixing the gravy with the water. I realize it probably should be a no brainier to know that I should mix the water with the gravy before adding to the crockpot, but I didnt realize it. So to those fellow incompetent cooks out there. It’s best if you mix the gravy packets with the water before dumping it in the crockpot
