Want a way to have the flavor and texture of an amazing roast without paying the price for a roast? This Slow Cooker Steak with Gravy from Gooseberry Patch’s Speedy Slow-Cooker Recipes is your answer!
Aunt Lou here.
So we all know that in this house we are suckers for a great deal on meat. Well, our freezer is still completely packed, so when Michael found a good deal on a flat iron steak, I needed to use it right up.
I saw this Slow Cooker Steak with Gravy recipe and was a little leery. You see, to say I am a picky eater would be quite the understatement. However, I married a human garbage disposal who loves anything and everything except peas (Go figure?). So I thought I would give it a try since it sounded like something Michael would love.
I am so very glad that I did! Roast is my all time favorite, but finding a good roast on sale is next to impossible. With this recipe, our flat iron steak tasted like a juicy, delicious roast! Mommy score!
Slow Cooker Steak with Gravy
Recipes don’t get much easier than this…
Cut your steak into serving size pieces.
Place the steak in the bottom of your slow cooker. (I used my Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker. I love mine…if you are in need of a slow cooker, I recommend checking it out!)
Add your soup mix, water and soup to your slow cooker and mix it together.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
When your steak is ready to serve, spoon some gravy over top and dig in!
We were completely floored by the texture and flavor of this crazy simple recipe. It was so tender it just fell apart and the gravy was awesome!
Easy Meal Idea
Creamy Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes and Creamy Crock Pot Corn would be delicious with this Slow Cooker Steak with Gravy.

March 8, 2018 at 9:58 amI had some nilgai steaks in the freezer that I used, cut the meat into cubes after it was cooked and added fresh mushrooms during the last hour, served with rice and steamed veggies. I have a couple of finicky eaters and three loved and asked for seconds! My husband likes more spice so he added chopped Serrano pepper to his at the table (I don’t put hot pepper while cooking as I have little kids). I will be making this again!

May 2, 2017 at 5:36 pmI have two steaks with bone in and about an inch thick. Is this still ok to use?

May 3, 2017 at 3:03 pmHi Michael!
I haven’t tried it with a bone-in steak, but think it could work. I hope you enjoy it as much we do!

April 21, 2017 at 9:20 pmI made this steak with gravy, and I didn’t have cream of mushroom soup, so I used cream of celery it was great, but it was ungodly salty. How can I cut the salt down?

January 30, 2014 at 2:43 pmWhat is flat iron steak? I’m Canadian and have never heard of this cut.
Aunt Lou says
January 30, 2014 at 2:56 pmIt is a cut that is delicious if you ever happen across one! It is long and narrow and usually 2-3 lbs.
A round steak will also work well in this recipe. Enjoy!
Kristin says
January 28, 2014 at 3:05 pmThis looked both yummy & easy! But can I cook it on high if I don’t have 6-8 hours to cook it on low? If cooking on high will work, then do you have recommendations?
Thank you!!
Aunt Lou says
January 29, 2014 at 11:48 amI would try cutting the time in half when cooking on high. I would check it at 3 hours and see how the meat is coming to see how much longer it will need, if any. Enjoy!

January 25, 2014 at 6:54 pmUse a can of cola (any kind, I use Diet Pepsi) instead of water. The gravy it makes is delicious!

January 7, 2014 at 11:52 pmWhat can I substitute for the dry onion soup mix? Onions and I don’t get along very well. 🙂
Aunt Lou says
January 7, 2014 at 11:59 pmYou could try a brown gravy mix. Enjoy!
stacy says
January 5, 2014 at 2:06 pmis there a substitute for the mushroom soup mix?
Aunt Lou says
January 6, 2014 at 12:31 pmYou could try replacing the Cream of Mushroom soup with any cream based soup. To be honest, I don’t like mushrooms or anything to do with them, but I loved this recipe.
Kathi says
April 19, 2017 at 1:19 pmCream of celery. We are not mushroom fans.

January 3, 2014 at 10:22 pmI got a slow cooker for christmas and have been looking for a delicious steak recipe as my first meal. I’m going to make this tomorrow 😀
Aunt Lou says
January 6, 2014 at 3:14 amAwesome! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! 🙂

January 2, 2014 at 9:06 amThe Golden Mushroom Soup isn’t a mix, it’s actually a canned version of regular cream of mushroom soup.

January 1, 2014 at 5:52 pmI am making this right now. I didn’t have plain onion soup mix, so I substituted Beefy Onion Soup Mix – pretty sure it will be good. I added a little extra liquid as it seemed pretty dry .. I hope that doesn’t turn out to be a mistake. Also added an extra sweet onion since my family loves them, would have thrown in mushrooms too (also because we love them) but I used them last night for stroganoff. Thanks for the recipe!! I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I’ve never used a flank steak before.
Aunt Lou says
January 1, 2014 at 6:40 pmI hope it turns out great!
Pat says
December 31, 2013 at 2:20 pmI make this but I use Golden Mushroom Soup – way better & the flavor is really intense – it’s a must try – you will never go back!

Sharon says
December 30, 2013 at 11:57 pmThis has been my go to recipe for roast and round steak for years. My family loves it. Sometimes, I mix it up a little and make swiss steak by putting a couple cans of tomatoes and a package of onion soup mix. You can add a package of gravy mix to that to thicken it or make a corn starch slurry.
Aunt Lou says
December 31, 2013 at 1:10 amYum! I’ll have to try that sometime!
Jalair Finlinson says
December 30, 2013 at 1:14 amI want to make the recipe Slow Cooker Steak with Gravy. I just need to know if it calls for 10 cans of mushroom soup or a 103/4 can of mushroom soup
Aunt Lou says
December 30, 2013 at 2:20 amIt is a ten and three quarter ounce (10 3/4) can of mushroom soup. Enjoy!
Shel Canuet says
April 4, 2017 at 3:49 pmI hope you are joking. Who ever heard of 10 cans of soup. hahahaha
