Equipment

  • 1 Slow cooker
  • 1 large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lbs Top sirloin steak cubed
  • 2 tbs olive oil or your favorite cooking oil
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups beef broth or stock
  • 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley optional, for garnish

To thicken gravy

  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or flour

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil (or your favorite cooking oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your beef cubes and season them with seasoned salt and black pepper. Sear the meat on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Transfer seared beef to the slow cooker using a slotted spoon.
  • Return the skillet to the stove. Reduce heat to medium. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir gently for 1-2 minutes to loosen any meat drippings from the pan. Pour broth over the beef in the slow cooker.
  • Add the Italian seasoning, diced onion, and garlic to the top of the beef and gravy mixture. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
  • For thicker gravy, combine water and cornstarch or flour in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Add the mixture to the slow cooker and stir to thicken the sauce. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving.
  • Top with parsley (optional). Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Enjoy!
