Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless eye of the round steak
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch*
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil for browning steaks
For Mushroom Sauce:
- 2 cups beef stock
- 8 ounces white mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cans full-fat coconut milk chilled
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch*
Instructions
- Put two tablespoons coconut oil in a skillet and turn on to medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the coconut flour, tapioca starch, salt and garlic powder. Mix well.
- Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture and place them in a hot skillet. Allow them to brown on the first side, 1-2 minutes, then flip the steaks and allow them to brown for 2 minutes on the other side.
- Place the browned steaks in a slow cooker. Top with diced onions.
- Pour the beef stock, mushrooms, pepper and salt in a blender. Blend for 30 seconds on medium speed, or until the mushrooms are chopped to the size you'd like.
- Pour the mushroom sauce over the steaks.
- Cook on high for 5-6 hours or low for 7-9 hours until the steaks are tender.
- minutes before serving, open the chilled cans of coconut milk and scoop out the hardened cream into a bowl. Reserve the clear coconut water for another use.**
- Mix the coconut cream with 2 tablespoons tapioca starch. Add this to the slow cooker and allow the coconut cream to "melt" in.
- Allow the coconut cream to heat through. Mix gently just before serving.

Notes
- If you don't care about this being gluten free/paleo, you can use cornstarch and all-purpose flour in place of the tapioca starch and coconut flour. *This clear coconut water is good in smoothies.
