WHY ROUND STEAK?
Why This Cut Works for Slow Cooking
Round steak comes from the hindquarter, making it naturally lean yet full of beefy flavor. Because it’s a hardworking muscle, it benefits from low-and-slow cooking — which transforms it into fork-tender, juicy bites.
Slow cooking allows the connective tissue to gently break down, creating steak that’s rich, tender, and deeply satisfying without needing complicated ingredients.
Our round steak comes from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished cattle, raised responsibly and without shortcuts. The quality of the beef is what makes this simple recipe shine.
WHAT MAKES GRASS-FED DIFFERENT?
Grass-fed and grass-finished beef delivers a clean, robust flavor that stands out in simple preparations like this one. When the ingredient list is short, quality matters even more.
With grass-fed beef, you get:
-
Pure, beef-forward flavor
-
Tender texture when cooked properly
-
Beef you can feel confident serving your family
It’s comfort food — elevated by intention.

Instructions
Steak Bites
- Add the round steak, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, butter, and beef bone broth to the crockpot.
- Stir to combine, cover, and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, stirring occasionally if able.

Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.

Notes

- Don’t skip the broth — it keeps the grass-fed beef moist and flavorful. For thicker gravy, remove the lid during the final 30 minutes of cooking. Frequently Asked Questions
