The flavors are crazy here! Love to scarf this one down!
There’s something truly comforting about slow-cooked meals that remind me of the days spent on our family farm. This Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Steak brings together the rich flavors of homegrown tomatoes and fresh basil, simmering for hours to infuse the tender steak with all the goodness of these simple ingredients. It’s a dish steeped in Midwestern tradition, perfect for any Sunday family dinner or special occasion. The aroma that fills the house as this cooks will take you back to simpler times, when life moved a little slower, and the best meals were made with love.
This hearty dish pairs beautifully with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles, both of which can soak up the delicious tomato basil sauce. For a bit of color and freshness, consider serving along with a crisp garden salad or steamed green beans with a touch of lemon. Finish off the meal with a slice of homemade apple pie, and you’ve got a taste of the country right at your dinner table.
