Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the steak. Cut the meat into serving-size pieces, then coat each piece with flour, ensuring they are well coated. Tenderize the meat by gently pounding it, then coat it once more with flour for a deliciously crisp exterior when cooked.
-
In a skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until the onions turn translucent and aromatic. Once done, remove them from the pan and set them aside.
-
Now, it’s time to sear the steak. Brown the meat on both sides until it develops a rich, golden crust. Once browned to perfection, transfer the steak pieces to the crockpot, arranging them in a single layer.
-
In the crockpot, add the sautéed onions, garlic, and slices of lemon for a burst of citrusy freshness. Toss in the potatoes and bay leaf, distributing them evenly among the steak pieces.
-
In the same skillet used for sautéing, prepare the flavorful sauce. Mix together the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, brown sugar, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Once the sauce is ready, pour it generously over the steak and vegetables in the crockpot, ensuring everything is well coated and immersed in the delicious sauce.
-
Set the crockpot to cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, allowing ample time for the flavors to mingle and the meat to become tender and succulent.
-
Once cooked to perfection, serve the Crock Pot Oven Steak hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Pair it with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
Enjoy the wholesome goodness of this hearty dish, perfect for any occasion, and savor the melding flavors that make every bite a delight!
