Slow Cooker Cube Steak 🥩 is a simple, comforting dish where tenderized beef cooks slowly in a rich gravy until it becomes very soft and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 4 cube steaks
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons oil (for browning, optional)
Instructions
1. Optional browning
Heat oil in a skillet and lightly brown the cube steaks for 2–3 minutes per side. This adds extra flavor.
2. Prepare the slow cooker
Place sliced onions on the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Add the meat
Lay the cube steaks on top of the onions.
4. Make the gravy
In a bowl mix:
- cream of mushroom soup
- beef broth
- Worcestershire sauce
- garlic powder
- pepper
Pour the mixture over the steaks.
5. Cook
- Low: 6–8 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
The steak should become very tender and easy to cut with a fork.
Serving Ideas
Serve with:
- Mashed potatoes
- Rice
- Egg noodles
- Steamed vegetables
The gravy from the slow cooker works perfectly as a sauce.
Tip
For thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water, stir it into the slow cooker during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
