Getting a comforting dinner on the table is super easy with this cube steak recipe. You use the crockpot to get the beef tender and delicious. Cube steak can sometimes be tough, but it doesn’t have to be! One of the best ways to get it tender is to cook it slowly in your crockpot.

This recipe has just 6 ingredients (only 5 if you don’t count the water), and is really easy to just add everything to the slow cooker and let it go!

Why You’ll Love This Crock Pot Cube Steak

• Easy – you really just dump the ingredients in the crockpot and let it go. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
• No Canned Soup – a lot of version of this recipe rely on canned soup to make the gravy. This thickens with cornstarch and water, so no cream soup necessary.
• Filling & Comforting – this is one of those stick to your ribs really comforting meals when you serve it over mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Great on a cold night.

What Is Cube Steak

Cube steak is a beef that is usually cut from the top round, usually from the shoulder or hind quarters of the cow. It is a tougher cut of meat, that they tenderize by pounding the meat and leaving indentations. This process is called cubing, and how the meat gets its name.

It is often used to make chicken fried steak in the United States. But it can be used for so much more!

• Cube Steak
• Onion Soup Mix – use the store bought or you can make Homemade Onion Soup Mix to control the ingredients
• Beef Broth – use low or no sodium to cut down on salt
• Mushrooms – button mushrooms, baby bella mushrooms or brown mushrooms all work great.
• Water
• Cornstarch

How To Make Crock Pot Cube Steak

• Fill Crockpot – Arrange the cube steak in the base of your slow cooker. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle over the onion soup mix. Pour in the beef broth to cover everything.
• Cook – Set the crockpot to low and cook for about 3 1/2-4 hours.
• Thicken – in a small bowl whisk together the water and cornstarch and pour into the crockpot. Whisk to combine with the broth. Leave the lid off, and let it cook for 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.

How To Serve

• I like it served over Mashed Potatoes to really soak up all that sauce.
• Egg Noodles
• French Bread Dinner Rolls
• Roasted Asparagus

Recipe Tips & Suggestions

• Help control the sodium in your recipe by using a low or no sodium beef broth and make your own Homemade Onion Soup Mix.
• If your gravy is not thickening, you can up the heat to high or even pour it into a saucepan and heat over the stove for just a couple of minutes.
• If you love mushrooms, feel free to add more! They cook down just like sauteed mushrooms, so if everyone you are serving love mushrooms, you may want more.
• It is best if you use thawed cube steak. It is cut very thin, so it usually thaws very quickly. You can leave it in the fridge overnight, or even on the counter for just a couple of hours.
