  • 2 tbsp cold water optional, for thickening the sauce

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. (Optional but recommended)
  2. Place the sliced onion at the bottom of the crockpot. Spread the minced garlic over the onions.
  3. Place the seared steak on top of the onions and garlic. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with dried thyme and rosemary.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the steak is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  5. If you want a thicker sauce, remove the steak and shred it. Whisk together cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Pour slurry into crockpot, stir, and cook on high for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
  6. Return shredded steak to the crockpot, stir to combine with sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
