Description

This Crock Pot Cube Steak recipe is a comforting, slow-cooked meal featuring tender cube steaks simmered in a savory mushroom gravy made with cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and onions. Perfect for an easy family dinner, the steaks become melt-in-your-mouth tender after hours in the slow cooker, and the flavorful gravy can be blended for a smooth finish. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles for a hearty and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cube steaks
  • 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of mushroom soup (or cream of celery or chicken)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 large red onion, minced (white or yellow also work)
  • 3 Tablespoons homemade beef bouillon powder (or 1 packet onion soup mix)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the onions: Small dice the onion and spread it evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker insert to form a flavorful base for the steaks.
  2. Layer the cube steaks: Lay the cube steaks over the bed of diced onions, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
  3. Add seasoning and broth: Sprinkle the homemade beef bouillon powder (or onion soup mix) evenly over the steaks, then pour the beef broth on top.
  4. Mix the soups: Add both cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup to the slow cooker. Use a fork to gently combine the soup with the bouillon mixture; it does not need to be perfectly smooth as they will blend further during cooking.
  5. Cook low and slow: Cover the crock pot and set it on low heat. Cook the cube steaks for 6 to 8 hours until they become melt-in-your-mouth tender.
  6. Make the gravy: Remove the steaks from the slow cooker. Use a stick blender to puree the onions in the remaining sauce to thicken it into a gravy-like consistency. Optionally, this can be done in a regular blender. If you prefer, you can serve the sauce as is with onion chunks.
  7. Serve: Plate the crock pot cube steak and pour the thickened gravy over the top. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles and your choice of vegetable sides for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Crock Pot Cube Steak is incredibly versatile and pairs well with creamy mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or steamed rice.
  • Using a stick blender to thicken the gravy gives it a smooth texture, but this step is optional if you prefer a chunkier sauce.
  • You can substitute cream of celery or cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom according to your taste preferences.
  • This recipe is perfect for hands-off cooking, allowing you to come home to a flavorful and tender beef meal ready to enjoy.
