Recipes Slow Cooker Braising Steak
I prefer to use blade steaks for slow cooking because they don’t fall apart–they hold their shape. What keeps the shape is the line of gristle that runs down the center. That may annoy some, but I find it’s easily cut out on serving. That is, if you even notice it’s there. Slow cooking tends to melt it somewhat so often I don’t bother trying to find it to cut it out when I’m eating it. Call me lazy! LOL!
These are the types of meals I just love. There’s virtually no fussing, other than browning the meat, which I insist on doing before slow cooking since it adds SO much more flavor and deglazing the pan you browned it in and adding it to the mix improves the flavor even more.
Since au jus gravy mix tends to be a bit salty, I HIGHLY recommend you use a low-sodium (salt) soup instead of the regular. I will say I find many things a bit salty since I cut back big time on salt when my late husband had to reduce his sodium intake for health reasons. Your mileage may vary.

Thicker sauce: If you want to thicken up the sauce, you can combine 1 tablespoon or cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to form a paste. Add this to the slow cooker after you have shredded the beef. Stir it in, and cover with a lid. After 20 minutes, the sauce will thicken. Alternatively, you can add some gravy granulates for a quicker solution.
Different seasoning: Feel free to change up the seasoning! Use any spices or herbs that you like. Taco seasoning would make the beef perfect for Mexican meals like tacos or nachos, most dried herbs should taste great, or you can use a pre made beef seasoning packet.
To make this recipe, you will need a slow cooker or a Crockpot. I use a 3 qt slow cooker, but you can also use one that's a little smaller or larger, as long as the ingredients fit.
