WW Recipe of the Day: Easy & Tender Crock Pot Round Steak

Hearty and satisfying, this easy & tender slow cooker round steak is one of Rod’s favorites. It reminded me a lot of the slow cooker beef with mushrooms I made a while back, another big hit. 

Tender Crock Pot Round Steak

What Is Round Steak Good For?

For people watching fat and calorie content, round steak makes a healthy choice. Round steak is a lean cut of beef. A 3-ounce serving of cooked lean round or loin steak, with all visible fat trimmed has 3 Points (green, blue purple).

Lean eye of the round, trimmed of excess fat has 2 Points (green, blue, purple) per 3-ounce serving.

Because it is so lean it can be tough if not cooked properly. This makes it perfect for slow cooking recipes such as swiss steak, bell pepper steak, and stews. During long slow cooking in the crock pot, round steak will become fork-tender and flavorful.

Weight Watcher Friendly Crock Pot Round Steak Recipe Notes

Instead of depending on cream of mushroom soup for thickening, you coat the pieces of steak in seasoned flour and then make a simple gravy before serving. The recipe calls for canned mushrooms, but you could always substitute fresh instead.

Substitutions and Variations:

  • To make this even easier use a packet of onion soup mix in place of the onion, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Substitute ½ cup water for the broth.
  • To make this richer, stir in a couple tablespoons of light sour cream right before serving.

My pieces of steak were tender after about 4 hours, so I flipped the slow cooker to WARM until dinnertime. Simple yet satisfying, I will definitely make this again. Enjoy!
