Slow-Cooked Garlic Herb Steak with Rich Onion Gravy

Ingredients

- 2 pounds steak (your choice of cut, such as sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak:
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better.
- Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Press the seasoning into the meat gently.

2. Prepare the Garlic and Onion:
- Place the minced garlic and sliced onion in the bottom of the crock pot. Spread evenly to create a bed for the steak.

3. Sear the Steak:
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until just sizzling.
- Sear each side of the steak for about 2 minutes until browned and crusty. This step locks in flavors.
- Transfer the seared steak to the crock pot, placing it atop the garlic and onion.

4. Add the Broth:
- Pour the beef broth over the steak. This will infuse the meat with moisture and deepen the flavors.

5. Slow Cook:
- Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to low heat.
- Cook for 6 hours, allowing the steak to become tender and the flavors to meld beautifully.

6. Finish and Serve:
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the steak and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Stir the onions and garlic in the crock pot to combine with the juices, creating a rich gravy.
- Serve slices of steak with a generous spoonful of the onion gravy over the top.

7. Optional:
- For added garnishing, sprinkle with fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme just before serving.
