Tips and Variations

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steak is fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of cornstarch to 1/3 cup.
• You can add vegetables such as sliced mushrooms, carrots, or bell peppers to the slow cooker for a complete meal.
• If you don't have beef broth, you can use chicken or vegetable broth instead.
• If you want to add more flavor to the steak, you can marinate it in the soy sauce mixture for 1-2 hours before cooking.
• If you are short on time, you can cook the steak on high for 2-3 hours instead of on low for 6-8 hours.
• This slow cooker steak recipe is perfect for meal prep. You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
