Northeast Loves Beef- Savory Beef & Provolone Crepes with Caramelized Onions

Onions in the slow cooker

When my friend Allie at Philadelphia Housewives told me about this contest I was excited as I love beef- who doesn't love eating beef! But hello- working with my Crock POT?! OH YES PLEASE!

I love working with a Crock Pot for just about everything- if I can simmer a stew or cook a chowder, I'm a happy kitchen camper. I have several crock pots and thought about which one to use. I decided on my mid size one.

For this recipe- I was trying to think out of the box, and I came up with a few of my favorite things- all rolled into one- my Cheesesteak Crepes.

- A package of stew meat or beef cubes
- 1/4 glass of red wine
- 6 sweet onions
- a package of fresh whole mushrooms
- 4 fresh crepes
- olive oil
- butter
- salt, pepper, garlic salt, and onion salt
- bottle of sriracha
- ketchup

I started the beef cubes with the red wine in the crock pot with salt, pepper, and onion and garlic salt.

After the beef and onions cooked for 5 hours in the Crock Pot, I added freshly sliced mushrooms, and let everything slow cook for another hour.

In my other white crock pot, I caramelized onions for about 12 hours- I used sweet onions sliced up, a dash of olive oil, and a teaspoon of butter, and let those onions create a caramelized flavor to add a sweet heat to this delicious dinner.

When dinner was about ready, I made the crepes then laid out provolone cheese and added the caramelized onions.
Then I added the beef and mushroom mixture.
The beef had shredded to melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness, and the onions were sweet.
The provolone added a sharp kick, and I added garlic salt and a few drops of sriracha to the ketchup for a savory topping.

Putting this together was fun and original and we all enjoyed beefsteak crepes with provolone and caramelized onions for dinner from the crockpot.
