- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced

- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Pat the steak dry and tenderize if necessary. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Dredge and Sear: Coat the steak lightly in flour. Heat oil in a skillet and sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Layer Ingredients: Place onions and carrots at the bottom of the crockpot. Lay the seared steaks on top. Pour in diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Stir gently.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
- Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If the sauce is too thin, mix cornstarch with water and stir it into the crockpot. Let cook for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
- Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
