Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together the cream of mushroom soup, water, and onion soup mix in the crock-pot.
- Add the raw round steak to the mixture.
- Cover and cook on high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours until the meat is tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding sliced mushrooms or fresh garlic to the mix. If you don’t have onion soup mix, you can substitute it with a blend of dried onions, garlic powder, and salt. Adjust the water based on the desired thickness of the sauce. This recipe also works well with beef chuck or brisket if round steak isn’t available.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the round steak over a bed of mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. Steamed vegetables or a fresh salad complement the dish nicely. For a hearty meal, pair it with garlic bread or consider serving it with Parmesan Onions for an extra touch of flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak and sauce in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions in a covered dish until hot, making sure not to overcook the meat.
