Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 4 pieces Cube Steak Substitution: Round steak or chuck roast can work, but cube steak is preferred for its quick-tenderizing ability.
For the Gravy
  • 1 large Onion Prep: Slice it evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • 1 packet Onion Soup Mix Note: Try making your own onion soup mix for a fresher alternative.
  • 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup Substitution: Mix heavy cream with beef broth and seasonings if you prefer a homemade touch.
  • 2 cups Beef Broth Note: Opt for low-sodium broth for better control over saltiness.
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce Note: Don’t skip it; it rounds out the flavors beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Note: Fresh minced garlic can elevate the taste even more.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Note: Adjust the amount based on your own taste preferences.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Prep: Mix it with water to create a slurry before adding.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Note: Feel free to substitute with your favorite herbs.

Method
 

How to Make Best Crock Pot Cube Steak
  1. Pat the cube steaks dry and season them generously with garlic powder and black pepper.
  2. For added depth, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  3. Slice the large onion evenly and layer it on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
  5. Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the seasoned steaks and the layer of onions.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours until the steak is fork-tender.
  7. If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove the steaks and mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, adding it to the gravy.
  8. Spoon the rich onion gravy over the tender steaks and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
