Ingredients
 

  • 1kg Oyster Blade steak (or any affordable casserole style steak)
  • 3 tablespoons of creamy bottle style mild American mustard
  • 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 2 heaped tablespoons of plain flour
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1/2 cup of tomato sauce/ketchup (I used low sugar but you can use regular)
  • 1/8 cup of soy sauce (I use reduced salt but you can use regular)
  • 1 large brown onion thin sliced
  • (2 large plastic freezer bags)

Instructions
 

  • Add mustard and sugar to a freezer bag
  • Add raw steaks to this bag and toss and rub around to coat the steaks with the mustard/sugar mix
  • In a second freezer bag add flour and season with salt and pepper
  • Tip steak from the first bag into the second flour bag and toss around to dust them with the flour mix
  • Remove steaks from bag and lay them in slow cooker (single file if you are able to)
  • Top with sliced onion
  • Combine the sauces and pour over the steaks
  • Cook on LOW for 5hrs

Notes

  • Serve with vegetables and mash and pour over the lush gravy
  • You do not need to add any water to this dish :) That's not a typo. However some have been adding half a cup so that's up to you but it really doesn't need it
  • This was one of my favourite recipes I remember my mum cooking as a child and if she was here now I'm sure she'd be so proud to see her recipe represented here for you all to try - enjoy! xx
