How to Make Melt In Your Mouth Round Steak in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Ever since my first Melt In Your Mouth recipe, I have been in love with the simplicity and flavor of these recipes. (You can find all of them here.) I always love an easy recipe, but it is quite the added bonus when the recipe results in an incredibly flavorful and tender (ya know, melt in your mouth tender ๐ ) dish.
This dish is great with a variety of sides, so you can pair it up however you like. Sometimes we like to pair this with a salad and some delicious Crock Pot Corn on the Cob. Other times, we have had it with Bacon Crock Pot Green Beans and Potatoes and Crock Pot Creamed Spinach. I bet it would also be pretty tasty with Crock Pot Savory Parmesan Rice and Air Fryer Asparagus Bacon Bundles. Whatever you want to pair this with, I am guessing you will enjoy it greatly!
What You Will Need for Melt In Your Mouth Crock Pot Round Steak
Ingredients Needed
- 1.5 lbs beef round steak
- 12 oz jar beef gravy
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Equipment Needed
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring cup
- Measuring spoon
- Wooden spoon
- 4 quart slow cooker
Time Needed
- Prep Time: 5 minutes or less
- Cooking Time: 6 to 8 hours on low, turning your insert halfway through cooking if your crock pot does not cook evenly (You can technically cook this on high for 3 to 4 hours, but I don’t recommend it. Cooking beef on low is always the best way to get the most tender results.)

I am going to cut my own steaks How thick should they be Thanks you wise ones
My round steaks were around a half inch to 3/4 inch thick. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
Could I use gravy mix that is in a package? Such as McCormicks?
I haven’t tried making this with a brown gravy mix packet and not the jar gravy. I think it might work if you prepare the gravy mix or if you add more water to the recipe to compensate for the liquid of the gravy. However, with the second option, I would guess that the gravy/cooking juices at the end would be thinner. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
Could potatoes and carrots be added?
You sure can! You can find the recipe for that here: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/melt-in-your-mouth-crock-pot-round-steak-dinner/. Enjoy!
Hello, I am on a strict diet and will have to omit the gravy. Would I prepare it the same without the gravy?
I haven’t tried this without the gravy. It will significantly change the end dish since the gravy adds flavor and helps make the ending cooking juices a bit thicker. I would recommend adding in some additional seasonings that are allowed in your strict diet to help replace the seasonings that the gravy would add.
I don’t know if any of our other round steak recipes will fit your needs, but you can find them all here: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/recipe-index/?fwp_search=round%20steak&fwp_recipe_index_type=crock-pot%2Cmain-dishes&fwp_recipe_index_ingredient=beef. Hope that helps!
Susan i am on a low sodium diet so I am substitution the gravy for low sodium beef broth and when it is almost done add a corn starch slurry to thicken the gravy. I also added onion and a bay leaf for flavor.
used this recipe a few months ago ==steak tasted great and was really tender will be making one change to this next time i make it==for seasoning will add 1 pack of hidden valley ranch seasoning
I love the idea of adding a ranch packet! Let me know how it turns out.
