Ingredients

  • 3 pounds sirloin steaks (see notes below)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 1 medium onion, small diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 (0.87 ounce) low sodium brown gravy packets
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Season the 3 pounds sirloin steaks with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepperon all sides (these salt and pepper measurements are not per steak, this is the total amount of seasoning to use on the steaks.)

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add half of the oil and sear the steaks until golden brown. You will need to do this in batches, and add more oil if needed.
  • Place the steaks into the bottom of a 6-8 quart slow cooker.

  • Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high 3-4 hours until the meat is tender. It is recommended to cook on low for best (most tender) results.
    NOTE: Do not remove the lid while cooking. This negates the whole purpose of using a slow cooker. Set it and forget it. Opening the lid to check on the meat will result in a longer cooking time and the meat will not come out as tender.
