Time 3h25m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
½ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 ounces boneless chuck steak

Steps:

Place onion and bell pepper slices in a large resealable plastic bag. Add vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire, soy sauce, garlic, rosemary, and pepper. Add steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard 1/2 of the liquid marinade.
Pour the remaining liquid plus the onion and pepper slices into a large frying pan. Cook over high heat for 2 minutes. Move vegetables to the side of the pan and add steak. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 4 minutes. Remove vegetables to a plate and flip steak; cook until steak is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, about 3 to 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness.
Drain liquid from the pan. Serve steak with onion and bell pepper.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck steak is a tough cut of meat, so it's important to choose one that is labeled "stew meat" or "braising steak." These cuts have more connective tissue, which will break down during cooking and make the meat tender.
Brown the meat before cooking: Browning the meat in a hot skillet before cooking it in the slow cooker will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice crust.
Add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker: Chuck steak is a dry cut of meat, so it's important to add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from becoming tough.
Cook the meat on low for at least 8 hours: Chuck steak needs to be cooked for a long time in order to become tender. Cooking it on low for at least 8 hours will help to break down the connective tissue and make the meat fall-apart tender.
Add vegetables and spices to the slow cooker: Vegetables and spices can be added to the slow cooker along with the meat to create a flavorful stew or pot roast.

Conclusion:

Chuck steak is a delicious and affordable cut of meat that can be used to make a variety of dishes in the slow cooker. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
