Sometimes you are just in the mood for steak, but you don’t want to put out the effort or the money. We had some very inexpensive round steaks in the freezer that we normally use to make a stew.
Instead, I decided to try them in this crockpot steak recipe. With very few ingredients, I surprised myself with how tasty these inexpensive steaks became.
Crockpot Steak Recipe
One of my favorite ways to cook steaks is in the crockpot. Why? Well, because you can cook an inexpensive cut of steak like round steaks and make them taste fantastic just by slow cooking them.

The cheaper steaks became “fall apart” steaks as my kids called them. Adding in the onions in there gave them an added restaurant taste. My husband was shocked to found out they were cheap old round steaks.

Yes! This is the best way to cook steak that is one of the cheaper cuts. It turns out so tender and just falls apart. It’s loaded with flavor and no one will know that it’s inexpensive round steak!
I love the programmable crock pot for when I am am not at home. You can literally set it and forget it! It’s especially perfect for those days you will be out of the house. Just set it for the amount you need and it will cut off for when you programmed it. Plus, it will stay warm until you are ready to eat. It’s a great feature and one of my favorites.
I also really enjoy my Ninja cooking system. It’s neat because you can brown your meat in the pot and then let is slow cook all day. It’s really nice only having one pan and less clean up. It’s a great feature!
Once at home you enjoy a nice meal. It’s ready to serve thanks to the crockpot!
