Anyone ever Crock Pot a steak?

[Cranky]

The internet has some recipes but thought I'd ask here and get some ideas from the ones that cook a lot. Got a couple thawed out but it's pretty freaking windy out to grill them and don't have a good place to get out of the wind. Will probably ad veggies in with it along with Zesty Italian dressing and a bit (or a lot) of honey BBQ sauce. Wasn't planning on searing the steak either. What say y'all!? Btw, I'm a KISS kind of a cook so the more simple the better so long as it still tastes good lol.

Don't cook for hours they'll fall apart. Used some in spaghetti sauce cut in chunks after a couple of hours of simmering, no chunks.

Wife take the stove?

You have to be pretty lazy or it’s a pretty bad cut of steak to cook it in the crock pot... lol

I do roasts in the crock pot, and add a pack of lipton soup mix. Then add taters & onions a few hours before the meat is done. If i'm not using the grill for steaks, i put them in a skillet, along with 1/4 - 1/2 stick of real butter. I cook eggs sunny side up, in butter or coconut oil, in a separate pan. I start them when the steak is almost done. Steak & eggs is my favorite meal.

I would fry a steak in my CI pan. Get it hotter than hell, throw in the steak, give it 60 seconds, flip it give it 60 more seconds and check.
Also try Adolf's Marinade in Minutes-Steak Sauce Flavor.
Now, we cook pork steaks in the CP a lot. Cream of mushroom soup, and favorite seasonings. A little better if browned first but, I like them either way, They just fall off the bone! Yum!

What cut, how thick, and how done do you like it? I truthfully haven't cooked a steak on a grill in about 15yrs. All you need is an iron or heavy stainless pan, a gas stove, and some oil. For really thick cuts you might finish them off in the oven.

Title should read, anyone ruin a steak. Lol. Only other way I would consider in desperation is stove top in a cast iron skillet as hot as you can get it couple minutes each side then let if cook in the oven to desired finish

Crshr and I have done a tri-tip, just treat it like you'd do a pot roast. What type/section of cow in mind?
Here's some more ideas if you haven't found this site?

I'd use the broiler pan, about 3" below. Maybe 5 min per side.

I would never cook a good piece of meat that needs treatment with a flash in a frypan or on the BBQ.

We do however cook the heaper (and tougher) cuts in a crock-pot or casserole dish in the oven - Blade steak, Chuck steak, Topside....not sure what you guys call those cuts, but they are generally the tougher cuts.
Made a beef bourguignon last night....about 3 hours in the oven - Gravy beef cut. beautiful...melt in your mouth stuff.

Shot a buffalo one year that was not necessarily tough, but certainly wasn’t tender. Did it in the crock pot: steaks, roasts, everything. Posts #5 and #7 pretty much tell it how I do it.

Mince it up, throw in some taco seasoning.....boom, can of retried beans....little cheese, sour cream. Burrito's!

Sonny says, In a marinade, alcohol helps the season the meat and carry flavor (not tenderize). It functions similarly in cooked sauces, making your food smell and taste better.
And with molecular bonding, just a splash of a spirit in a marinade intensifies the flavors in the finished dish. All the more reason to bring alcohol into the kitchen. Does the Alcohol Used in Cooking Burn Off? Contrary to popular belief, the alcohol added to a dish does not “burn off” during cooking.

use some crown 'er K-1..???...wow that beef will talk to ya' !

I have done chuck steaks in the crock pot
to use in tacos, enchiladas or burritos
or for stews
it shreds really well, falls off the bone
just a little water, chili power (if needed) & garlic salt, onions & peppers etc.

not a good cut of beef, I wouldn't do that
unless it was my only way to cook

you also just don't have to cook it as long
if you want it just "well done", not fall off the bone normal crock pot style

I like my steaks real med. rare 140*-145*f after sitting
steak is just way easier to, either broil or stove top sear
(or BBQ)
up here at a little altitude 350* @ 20 min, tops flipped once
unless it's 2" think (like a roast) maybe then a higher temp like 375*-400*
keep an eye on it, but for about the same time (maybe a little longer)

My dog will take it off your hands

Seek out a couple videos on YouTube from Gordon Ramsay called "how to cook
a perfect steak". The results are amazing, especially if done in a cast iron skillet.
My wife and I actually prefer his method over the grille now.
Incredible taste and texture doing them his way.

 

[hanks73340]

BBQ is the only way to do steak....IMO

 

[Cranky]

Wife take the stove?

Nope, it's still here....

You have to be pretty lazy or it’s a pretty bad cut of steak to cook it in the crock pot... lol

Uh, windy as hell here....and right now I'm pretty lazy lol

It's in a vacuum sealed bag and can't tell what cut it is but looks to be about 3/4" thick. Forgot about it being in the freezer some time back but it doesn't look freezer burned. The wife took the CI pan and don't really have a heavy SS pan.

All I have is some cheap Canadian Mist Since it's already 3:30, I'm going to wait until tomorrow to see if the wind dies down. Got a front coming in late Friday and I doubt the wind will subside....
