Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 1 1/4-1 1/2 lbs cube steaks
• 1/4 cup flour
• salt
• ground black pepper
• ghee or vegetable oil
• 1 medium carrot, sliced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Recipe

• 1 i used a 3 qt slow cooker, this did not fill it up halfway, so that a larger cooker will cook in a much shorter period of time, so please be aware of that.
• 2 rub flour onto both sides of the steaks, and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
• 3 heat the ghee or oil in a skillet and brown the steaks on both sides, transferring to the slow cooker as they are done.
• 4 in the meantime, put the carrots, onion, thyme and bay leaf in the slow cooker.
• 5 once the meat is done, reduce the heat and pour the wine into the skillet. stir to loosen and dissolve the fond and let it simmer briefly to reduce the wine a bit. pour into the slow cooker.
• 6 add the broth and tomato sauce into the slow cooker.
• 7 cover and cook on low for 6 or 7 hours. at this point, the meat held together as i removed it, but was fork tender.
• 8 serve with the gravy that made itself in the crockpot. i found that this needed no additional salt, but you should adjust for your own tastes.
