Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat (or chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 large shallots (or 1 small onion, diced)
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can beefy mushroom soup
  • 2 (.87 oz) packets low-sodium brown gravy mix
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (or sour cream)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray a 7-quart or larger crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Add the beef stew meat and diced shallots or onion, then sprinkle with garlic powder to season evenly.
  2. Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a separate bowl, thoroughly blend together the beefy mushroom soup, low-sodium brown gravy packets, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and tomato paste forming a rich, flavorful sauce.
  3. Combine and Cook: Pour the prepared sauce over the meat and onions in the crockpot. Stir gently to combine everything evenly. Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours. The low and slow cooking method is ideal for tenderizing tougher beef cuts.
  4. Add Mushrooms and Cream: About 20 minutes before serving, add the sliced mushrooms and heavy cream (or sour cream) into the crockpot. Stir well to incorporate them into the sauce. Recover and let simmer for an additional 15 minutes to meld the flavors and cook the mushrooms.
  5. Serve: Spoon the tender steak and rich sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. Optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Crockpot Steak Diane.

Notes

  • For best results, use the low and slow cooking method to maximize tenderness.
  • Chuck roast or stew meat works well because they become tender after long cooking.
  • Heavy cream adds richness but can be substituted with sour cream if preferred.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Adding fresh parsley as garnish provides color and a fresh herbal note.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently on stovetop or microwave.
