Description
Tender and juicy slow cooker ribeye steak seasoned with bold spices and simmered in a rich onion and garlic gravy for a hearty and comforting main dish.
Ingredients
2 thick ribeye steaks
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups beef broth
1 ounce onion soup mix
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
- Season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with the spice blend.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks on both sides until browned, then transfer them to the slow cooker.
- Reduce heat to medium and add butter and sliced onions to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
- Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and add onion soup mix, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.
- Pour the broth mixture over the steaks in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 2–3 hours or on low for 4–6 hours, until steaks are fork-tender.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with gravy.
Notes
Add sliced mushrooms or carrots for a complete one-pot meal.
For added heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes in the seasoning blend.
Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for deeper flavor.
To thicken the gravy, stir in a cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
