There is something mighty comforting about a supper that asks almost nothing of you and still comes out tasting like you tended it half the day. This rustic slow cooker flat iron meal is the kind of plain, sensible cooking that has long had a place in Midwestern kitchens: a good cut of beef, a few pantry staples, and low, steady heat doing the hard work. When you lay that whole flat iron steak right into the crock pot with just three other simple ingredients, it turns fork-tender and rich, with juices that beg to be spooned over potatoes, noodles, or a hunk of bread.
Serve this hearty beef over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or fluffy white rice to catch every bit of the savory broth. A side of green beans, glazed carrots, or simple sweet corn makes it feel like a full country supper, and if you have a loaf of crusty bread or a pan of biscuits nearby, you will be glad for it when folks start swiping the plate clean.
