Ingredients

  • 4 cubed steaks
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Dredge each cubed steak in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the cubed steaks on both sides until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Transfer the seared cubed steaks to the slow cooker.
  5. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are softened and slightly caramelized. Deglaze the skillet with a bit of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the slow cooker on top of the cubed steaks.
  7. In a bowl, mix the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour this mixture over the cubed steaks.
  8. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the cubed steak is tender.
  9. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream to create a rich and creamy sauce.

Notes

  • Storage Instructions: Store and leftover cube steak in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container. I do not recommend freezing the cooked steak.
