I have always loved making and eating this easy dinner recipe!  Simple Slow Cooker Steak Stew is called simple for a reason!   The beauty of this recipe lies in it’s versatility. 

This recipe is a great fridge cleaner!  I use whatever vegetables I need to use.  As for seasoning, I use whatever I am in the mood for or have on hand! 

Most frequently I add a couple tablespoons of garlic, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes.  My best friend Julie adds a half a package of taco seasoning or some chili powder to the stewed tomatoes!  We both add salt and pepper to taste.  The possibilities are endless!

Here are some other suggestions for this Simple Slow Cooker Steak Stew.  You can add a can of drained peas or some frozen ones, a few minutes before serving!  I have added sauteed mushrooms.  Ken, my husband, adds chopped, almost crisp bacon to the slow cooker and serves it with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese!
