Ingredients:

6 medium beef blade steaks

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 onion, thinly sliced

8 oz fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 cup beef broth

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

1. Prepare the meat: In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

2. Brown the steaks: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to the slow cooker.

3. Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add onions and mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened, then add to the slow cooker.

4. Add the sauce: Pour diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and thyme over the steak and vegetables.

5. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the meat is tender.

6. Serve: Enjoy over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles!
