Ingredients for A 1 Round Steak Crock Pot

  • Steak Sauce
  • Spicy Brown Mustard
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
  • Round Steaks
  • 1 cup beef broth

How to Make A 1 Round Steak Crock Pot

  1. Wash and quarter 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup yellow mustard and 1/4 cup A1 Steak Sauce.
  3. Generously coat a 1.5-2 lb round steak with the A1 mustard mixture.
  4. (Optional) Place the coated steak and potatoes in the crock pot, cover, and refrigerate overnight for enhanced flavor.
  5. When ready to cook, pour 1 cup beef broth over the meat and potatoes.
  6. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. Frozen meat may require the longer cooking time.
  7. If cooking time is shortened (like if you forgot to start early!), begin on high for 2 hours and then switch to low for the remainder of the cooking time until fork-tender.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
