Katie's March Challenge #2 Result - Crock Pot "Oven Steak"

Growing up, my mom used to make her own recipe called "Oven Steak". She made it in the oven, and it has such a delicious sauce/gravy that's perfect over mashed potatoes or rice. It's a wonderful recipe for a cold day. I decided to adapt it for the crock pot. It turned out pretty good! The only change I'd make is that in the original recipe, my mom added 1/2 cup of water to the mix. In the crock pot, you can definitely leave that out, as the gravy ended up being much more "soupy" than I was used to.

Here are the very simple ingredients:

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

- 2 lbs of round steak

- garlic powder

- 1 packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix (they only had the Golden Onion flavor at Publix this week)

- can of Cream of Chicken soup

- salt & pepper

Pour the oil in the bottom of the crock pot. Cut the oven steak into 3-4 inch pieces, trimmed of fat. Add the steak to the crock pot. Sprinkle with the garlic powder and salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix together the Cream of Chicken soup and the Lipton Onion Soup powder. Pour over the steak. Cook in crock pot however long you want. I cooked it on low for 8 hours.

It turns out like this:

Serve with your favorite starch, but it's super delish over mashed potatoes. Then throw on some simple veggies, and you're done!
Enjoy!
