Definitely. Its a pretty easy recipe to cut in half. Youd use one packet of gravy instead of two and youll cut the other ingredients by half as well. Keep in mind though, if you make the regular recipe, you can always store the rest for later, or freeze it for longer keeping and already have a meal ready to go. What to serve with Slow Cooker Steak and Gravy? Shown served with mashed potatoes but rice or egg noodles would also work and a side of steamed veggies.A side salad and your favorite Dinner Rolls or Breadsticks would also be great to soak up the gravy with. Is this Steak and Gravy a salty dish? For this recipe, I recommend using low sodium packets and unsalted butter if anyone is sensitive to salt or for anybody who may think this could be too salty for their tastes. You can always add additional salt if you feel it needs it. I do recognize that if you go full salted butter and the packets, some people could feel its too salty, thats why I have those recommendations. Can I use homemade gravy rather than the packets? Yes. For anybody who dont want to use packets, you could use my recipe for Homemade Au Jus. For reference, 4 1/2 teaspoons of that homemade mix equals one packet. So youll need 3 Tablespoons of that mix for this specific recipe. Could I use a cornstarch slurry instead of adding flour? If you want to skip the step of thickening the gravy on the stovetop, you can combine 3 Tablespoons water with 3 Tablespoons cornstarch. Whisk together and add to the slow cooker and stir in. Cover and cook on high for about 30 minutes or until thickened. It wont get it quite as thick as the stovetop but it will thicken it some. How to store leftovers? Store leftover Steak and Gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through, adding some water or broth if the gravy thickens too much during storage. Leftovers can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
