Instructions:
-
Trim the beef: Begin by trimming as much fat as possible from the beef round steak. This will help create a leaner dish with less greasy sauce.
-
Cut the beef: Slice the beef round steak into individual serving-sized pieces for easy serving once the dish is cooked.
-
Prepare the slow-cooker: Place the onion slices, garlic cloves, and fresh mushrooms into the bottom of a 4-quart slow-cooker, creating a flavorful base for the steak.
-
Layer the beef: Arrange the beef pieces on top of the vegetable mixture inside the slow-cooker. This allows the beef to absorb the flavors from the onions, garlic, and mushrooms as it cooks.
-
Mix the sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the dry white wine, beef broth, dried basil, dried marjoram, and black pepper. Stir everything together to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed.
-
Add the sauce to the slow-cooker: Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables. The sauce will cook down and infuse the meat with rich, savory flavors.
-
Slow-cook: Cover the slow-cooker and set it to cook on the LOW setting for 6-8 hours. During this time, the beef will become tender and absorb all the wonderful flavors from the herbs and sauce.
-
Serve: Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the beef from the slow-cooker and serve it alongside the sauce and vegetables. For the perfect pairing, serve the herbed steak and mushrooms over a bed of cooked noodles, letting the sauce coat each bite.
Tips:
- For extra flavor: If you enjoy a richer sauce, you can substitute the beef broth with a beef stock for a deeper, more savory taste.
- Vegetable options: Feel free to add more vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers to the slow-cooker for added texture and flavor.
- Serving ideas: This dish is great served with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side salad if you prefer something lighter.
