Crockpot Salisbury Steak and Gravy

Ingredients

• cube steak (Amount not stated; use enough steaks for the desired number of servings.)
• avocado oil (For searing; amount not stated.)
• onion (Roughly chopped; amount not stated. Optional.)
• jalapeño (Roughly chopped; amount not stated. Optional.)
• 2 cans beef consommé
• 3 tbsp brown gravy mix (Approximately one packet.)
• 1 packet au jus mix
• Fire and Smoke Society Onion Butter seasoning (Amount not stated.)
• salt (Add to taste, preferably near the end.)
• black pepper (Add to taste, preferably near the end.)
• all-purpose flour (Used instead of the creator's usual cornstarch slurry; amount not stated.)
• water (Mixed with the flour; amount not stated.)
• cooked rice (For serving; noodles or mashed potatoes may be used instead. Amount not stated.)

Steps

1. 1

   Turn the crock pot to its sauté/sear function and add avocado oil.

2. 2

   Add the cube steaks to the hot oiled crock pot and sear them until a brown crust forms on the bottom. The creator notes that searing is optional and was done because this crock pot has a sauté/sear feature.

3. 3

   Roughly chop the onion and jalapeño. The pieces do not need to be uniform; both can be skipped if desired.

4. 4

   Pour the two cans of beef consommé into the crock pot over the seared meat.

5. 5

   Add approximately three tablespoons of brown gravy mix, about one packet.

6. 6

   Add one packet of au jus mix.

7. 7

   Season with the onion-butter seasoning, then add salt and black pepper to taste. The creator recommends waiting to add salt until the end if needed so the gravy does not become too salty.

8. 8

   Add the chopped onion and jalapeño over the meat and gravy mixture.

9. 9

   Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours, until the meat is very tender.

10. 10

    Mix flour with water to make a slurry, using the flour in place of the creator's usual one-tablespoon cornstarch plus one-tablespoon water mixture. The exact flour and water amounts were not stated.

11. 11

    Stir the flour-and-water mixture into the crock pot and continue cooking for about 30 minutes to thicken the gravy. Add more thickener if a thicker gravy is desired.

12. 12

    Serve the tender Salisbury steak and gravy over rice. Noodles or mashed potatoes can be used instead.

Notes

The transcript does not state the amount of cube steak, oil, vegetables, seasoning, flour, water, or serving starch. The creator says the onion and jalapeño are optional. The stated thickening method uses flour because cornstarch was unavailable; the usual method mentioned was 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water. Check the gravy's salt level before serving.
