Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1–2 ribeye steaks
- ½ cup beef broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Ingredients
- Onions, sliced (optional)
- Mushrooms, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance flavor before cooking.
- Optional Searing: In a hot skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Briefly sear the steaks for about 1-2 minutes per side until browned. This step is optional but adds depth of flavor.
- Prepare Crockpot: Place the seared or raw ribeye steaks into the crockpot in a single layer.
- Add Flavorings: Pour in the beef broth, then add minced garlic and any optional vegetables such as sliced onions or mushrooms around the steaks.
- Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the steak is tender and juicy.
- Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the steaks and serve warm, spooning the flavorful cooking juices over the top. Ideal pairings include mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Searing the steaks before slow cooking enhances flavor but is optional.
- For best results, use fresh garlic and quality beef broth.
- Best served with mashed potatoes or your choice of steamed vegetables.
- Adjust seasoning after cooking if needed.
