Love this
I cooked this for my wife tonight while anticipating cooking my T bone on the bbq. Needless to say I regretted my t bone when I had a taste of my wife’s steak!!!!!
I found the Worcestershire worked with just a couple of teaspoons of gravox. Served it on the mash as a base with steamed broccoli. Cannot recommend enough.
I didn’t have the 4-5 hours to cook so I adjusted the cook times to 1.5 hrs high then 1.5 hrs low. Seemed to work if you only have 3 hrs, but probably best to stick to the recommended times for best results.
How much beef do you need for this?
@Mel – I only used one steak, but you could use as many as can fit in a single layer in your SC.
A delicious dish enjoyed by all 3 in my household, will be putting this on the menu and it’s not often the 3 of us agree on meals
Made this tonight – loved it!
Kids all enjoyed it too 🙂
I left out the tomato as we aren’t big tomato fans
I also didn’t do the pre browning stage but it didn’t matter at all.
Thickened up the sauce in just a couple of minutes with the gravy and a good whisking.
I might slightly reduce the soup mix to reduce the saltiness next time 🙂
Enjoyed ours with a pile of fresh veg on the side.
If you’ve been thinking of trying this one – do it 🙂
Wow. What a nice flavour. The only issue I had was I think I overcooked it. The meat turned out a bit dry but it could have been two things. One, I didn’t use the meat mentioned in the recipe, I used silverside steak. Two, I really have to learn to adjust my cooking times because my new slow cooker cooks hotter, and I am finding I am overcooking everything. LOL. I just hate deviating from a recipe. I will learn, though.
I will definitely be making this again.
I make this regularly we love it except I always cut the steak into small pieces. I have 2 questions if anybody could answer?
Is it necessary to have it on for an hour on high or could it be on maybe 5 hours low or something? I would love to be able to just turn it on and not have to worry about changing temp.
Also without searing the steak first do you think I cold make this in a dump bag?
Yes it could totally be all low 🙂 5hrs sounds plenty … and yes skip the browning for dump bag 🙂
Delicious way to have a steak ??
Whole family loved this ? I just had it on low the entire time , and as I didn’t have a tomato I used tomato sauce instead. Oh a d forgot the gravy but it didn’t need it.
Served with potato bake, delicious ?
5 star ??
Just wondering if it is gravy powder or make up the gravy and add
Dry
My partner and I loved this dish it was very delicious ?
OMG this was amazing. I have had a lot of French Onion Steak over the years. But this is by far the best I have ever had. Will definitely be making this again
This is delicious. I used a blade roast cut into thick pieces, forgot to add the Worstsister sauce but meal was tasty enough without it. Made for the old fella to take for lunch and I will do mashed potatoes in the 1.5lt slow cooker as the side.
This recipe is so yummy! I cut our steaks into chunks, didn’t add the tomatoes but bulked it up with spuds, carrot, mushrooms, zucchini, corn and silverbeet. So hearty and delicious.
Really nice rich sauce steak fell apart used 3x pieces of gravy beef , with potato bake and steamed veg
This time I tried something different… at the end I removed steak and moved the rest to a saucepan and blended everything (juices, onion and tomato included) with a stick mixer, added the gravy powder and thickened then on stove. It made a lovely rich smooth gravy 🙂
? Notes on other changes ?
– I don’t pre brown ?
– The beef stock I swapped to vegeta gourmet stock ?
– I add the Worcestershire sauce at the start ??
– I cook on all low, 5hrs
– I don’t add the salt ? & for the same reason I only use 1/2 pkt or the French onion soup not a full one as last time I found that salty ?
Delish served with our Vegetable Bake recipe on this site 🙂
