Instructions
Preparation Steps
Lightly pound the beef steaks to an even thickness. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the floured steaks on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove steaks from skillet and place in the slow cooker.
Add chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Stir to combine.
Pour the tomato mixture over the steaks in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
Serve hot, spooning the gravy over the steaks.
Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles to soak up the delicious gravy.
