How to Make Crock Pot Cube Steak
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Dredge the cube steak in the flour and add to the hot oil. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the meat is golden in color. You may want to cook the steak in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- Place half the onion and mushrooms in the bottom of the crock pot. Place the browned cube steaks on top. Top with the remaining onions and mushrooms.
- Whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, gravy packet, beef stock, and thyme in a medium bowl. Add to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook for 2 to 4 hours on high or 4 to 6 hours on low until the steak is tender and cooked through.
- For a thicker sauce, make a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water. Pour into the sauce and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Tips and Tricks
- Use low-sodium ingredients to reduce the amount of salt in this dish.
- For a smoother gravy, pour the sauce through a strainer before adding the cornstarch and water mixture, or give it a quick blitz with a hand blender.
Serving Suggestions
Mashed potatoes or steamed rice are great options for side dishes, along with steamed broccoli, roasted Brussels sprouts, or glazed carrots.
