Crock Pot Cube Steak and Gravy
Description
This Crock Pot Cube Steak and Gravy recipe combines cube steak with a simple blend of dry onion soup mix, canned cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth in a slow cooker. The meat cooks low and slow, becoming tender over 6-8 hours or faster on high heat. A cornstarch and water mixture is stirred in one hour before serving to thicken the gravy, producing a creamy, cohesive sauce that clings to the meat. Egg noodles, cooked separately, serve as a base to soak up the rich gravy and complement the beef.
The dish is convenient to prepare, requiring minimal hands-on time while the slow cooker does the work. Cube steak may be optionally browned before slow cooking for added flavor and color. The resulting meal provides savory, tender meat with a hearty mushroom-onion sauce suitable for a family dinner.
Cooking the gravy for an additional hour after adding the cornstarch ensures it reaches a desirable thickness without lumps. This dish pairs best with egg noodles but can be served with mashed potatoes or rice depending on preference.
