Slow Cooker Italian Round Steak and Potatoes

I love this recipe. To me, the round steak and potatoes bring me back to family meals as a child. However, with the addition of red wine vinegar it increases the acidity of the meal while giving a hint of sweetness. It is perfection.

One of the best things about this meal is that you get more bang for your buck with this cut of steak. It’s a lean meat, which can make it tricky to not overcook. While in the slow cooker, I recommend checking the round steak at the 7 hourmark. This is to ensure it remains tender and keeps it from getting dried out.

Once your steak and potatoes are finished, you can shred, slice, or dive right in. Don’t forget to smother it in the thickened gravy and enjoy!

    Super tasty! I set my slow cooker on high for 4 1/2 hours but checked it around the 3 1/2 hour mark and it was all done. It’s very easy to put together and makes a decent amount of leftovers. Definitely a keeper!
