Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck steak
- 12 ounces cola (not diet)
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck steak and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Step 2
Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak on both sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step is optional but helps to enhance the flavor.
Step 4
Layer the sliced onions at the bottom of the crock pot, creating a bed for the steak.
Step 5
Place the seared steak on top of the onions in the crock pot.
Step 6
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cola, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 7
Pour the cola mixture over the steak in the crock pot, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Step 8
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours, or until the steak is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the steak from the crock pot and shred or slice, as preferred. Serve with some of the cooking liquid spooned over the top for extra flavor.
Step 10
Optional: Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
