2. Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water until smooth. Add in the seasonings, garlic, onion, soy sauce, beef bouillon, and cream of mushroom soup. Mix well to combine these flavor-packed ingredients.
3. Combine and Cook: Pour your sauce mixture over the steak in the slow cooker, ensuring every piece is lovingly coated. Cover and set your slow cooker on low for 6-7 hours, giving it a gentle stir now and then to blend the flavors beautifully.
