Directions

  • Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  1. Brown the Cube Steak:

  1. Mix the Sauce:

  1. Pour the Sauce Over:
  • Pour the soup mixture over the cube steaks, ensuring even coverage.
  1. Slow Cook:
  • Set the Crock-Pot to low heat and cook for 6-8 hours or until the cube steak is tender and cooked through.
  1. Serve and Enjoy:
  • Serve the cube steak with the delicious mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Tips and Quick Process

  • Quick Prep: To save time in the morning, you can prepare the cube steaks and flour mixture the night before. Store the coated steaks in the refrigerator until you’re ready to brown and slow cook them.
  • Enhance Flavor: Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or your favorite herbs to the sauce mixture for an extra flavor boost.
  • Thicken Gravy: If the gravy needs thickening, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with a small amount of cold water and add it to the Crock-Pot. Stir well and let it cook for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • Customize Vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like carrots or mushrooms for added texture and flavor.

Enjoy this fuss-free Crock-Pot Cube Steak for a hearty and comforting meal that’s perfect for busy days!
