Ingredients
steak
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1⁄4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons stone-ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper, to taste
sauce
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons onion soup mix
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
Directions
- Start by layering the mushrooms and onions in the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a medium bowl, combine all the steak ingredients and shape them into four patties.
- Heat a frying pan and sear both sides of the beef patties. They don't need to be fully cooked at this stage. Once seared, remove the patties and place them on top of the mushrooms and onions in the slow cooker.
- Return the frying pan back to the heat and add in the broth and onion soup mix. Use the broth to scrape up the brown bits in the pan. Once done poor over the steak patties.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6 hours.
- When the cooking is done, remove the steaks from the slow cooker. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Pour this cornstarch mixture and the heavy cream into the slow cooker. Place the steaks back into the slow cooker, covering them with the sauce. Cook on high for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
