Crock Pot Beef Cube Steak Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 beef cube steaks (fully thawed if frozen)
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 packets beef gravy mix
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 ounces)
• 1 can water (use the empty soup can for measurement)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How To Make Crock Pot Beef Cube Steak

1. Brown the cube steaks: Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear cube steaks on both sides until lightly browned, then transfer to a 6-quart crock pot.
2. Add onions: Place thinly sliced onions over the steaks in the crock pot.
3. Mix gravy: In a bowl, combine gravy packets, cream of mushroom soup, and water. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and pour over the steaks and onions.
4. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, until the steaks are tender and flavorful.
5. Thicken gravy (optional): If needed, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir into the crock pot. Cook on high for a few minutes until thickened.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Recipe Tips

• How to thicken the gravy: Use a cornstarch slurry at the end if you want a thicker consistency.
• Add vegetables for a full meal: Potatoes, carrots, or mushrooms can be added to the crock pot with the steaks.
