Crock Pot Cube Steak

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6–8 hours (Low) or 3–4 hours (High)
Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes to 8 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 4–6

Ingredients

• 2 pounds (900 g) cube steak
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
• 1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
• 1 can (10.5 oz/300 g) cream of mushroom soup
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Lightly spray the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Arrange half of the sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Place the cube steaks over the onions, then top with the remaining onions.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
5. Pour the mixture evenly over the cube steaks.
6. Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
7. If you’d like a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch with the cold water to make a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking on High until the gravy thickens.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips

• Searing the cube steak for 2–3 minutes per side before slow cooking adds extra flavor but is optional.
• Add sliced mushrooms for an even heartier gravy.
• For a richer sauce, stir in ¼ cup sour cream just before serving.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
