My husband and I did not care for this at all.  The taste was more like glorified beef roast, nothing at all "steak" tasting about it.  We ate it at one meal, hubby tried the meat in a sandwich the next day, but the rest of it went to the barn cats.  I took this off my Pinterest board and through the printed recipe away.

I'll have to try this-- however, I have a huge dislike of cilantro, so I'll just leave it out!  (maybe some parsley for color towards the end).  Thanks!

Love this recipe!! It turns out very yummy everytime i cook it, people even ask me to cook it for them...love it!!

The has to be one of the worst recipes I've ever made.  While it was cooking in the slow cooker it had a distinct odor I couldn't place, it wasn't mushrooms or steak or even jalapenos and onions..I just couldn't place it all day.  Then when we were eating it, it was disgusting...my husband hit it right on the nose.  It tasted like liver.  Now I do like liver, when cooked correctly, smothered in onions.  We just were not ready for that flavor to come out of this recipe.  

I'll never make this again.

Remove the seeds. You get flavor without so much heat.

The overall flavor was good. The recipe called for 2 jalepeno peppers, but that was way too much.  It was so spicey that we could barely eat it.  My boyfriend is a huge fan of spicey food, and puts jalepenos on everything, but this was still too much for him.  I would suggest one pepper, or even half of one sliced and leaving the rest of the pepper whole so that it gives the flavor with less heat.

Bust out the slow cooker for a gotta try slow cooker steak recipe. Mushrooms and jalapenos take basic steak up a notch in flavor.
