This weekend I had some inspiration to make some Slow Cooked Steak Pizzaiola. Jaime recently bought me a new crockpot and last Sunday I made a meat sauce with meatballs, sausage, pork chops, and braciole (which will be its own post sometime soon), and I ended up having some steak and tomato sauce left over. 
All I needed to do was get some peppers and an onion and I was all set. It turned out to be some no fuss deliciousness. I served it over a bed of spaghetti. If you don’t have a slow cooker, you are really missing out on some simple set it and forget it recipes that will cook all day long with minimal effort. And when you are done the beef will be falling apart tender and juicy. Really a great simple way to enjoy some steak Italian-style!
Hope you enjoy my Slow Cooked Steak Pizzaiola.
An easy slow cooked steak recipe with delicious Italian flavors..
- 2 lbs London broil or beef tenderloin
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion (coarsely diced)

Add the olive oil to the slow cooker, then the beef and the garlic. Let it sit for five minutes, then flip the beef over. Let it sit for five more minutes.

Add the onions, peppers, tomato sauce, red wine, oregano, and water.

Top with salt and pepper.

Cook on high for three hours or low for 5 hours. Add the teaspoon of basil and mix. Continue cooking for one more hour.

Remove from heat and serve a ladle-full or two over a bed of al dente spaghetti, with the Pecorino-Romano cheese.
