• 3 tablespoons water

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the steak.: Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper.

   Brown the steak.: In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the steak pieces and brown them on all sides. Transfer the steak to the crockpot.

3. 3

   Sauté the veggies.: In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are softened. Add this mixture to the crockpot.

   Make the gravy.: About an hour before the cooking time ends, prepare a slurry by mixing cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir this slurry into the crockpot to thicken the gravy.

   Serve it up.: Once the steak is tender and the gravy has reached your desired consistency, the dish is ready to be served. Serve alongside or over cooked pasta of your choice.
