Equipment

  • cast iron pan
  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 4 cube steaks about 1 ½ pounds
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour regular or gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon jarred minced garlic
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef bone broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Whisk flour and seasoning together in a shallow bowl
  • Coat the steaks on both sides with the flour mixture and shake off any excess
  • Heat oil in large heavy skillet (cast iron is best) and cook steaks on both sides until lightly browned but not cooked through
  • Transfer steaks to slow cooker and top with onion, garlic, and diced tomatoes
  • Whisk together bone broth, tomato paste, and cornstarch mixed with water
  • Add mixture to slow cooker and season with salt and pepper
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until steak is fork tender

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost from frozen and reheat in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove.
  • If you like, you can run the diced tomatoes through a food processor for a more uniform texture in the sauce.
