The beauty of this slow cooker cube steak is in how it transforms over hours of gentle simmering. The beef becomes so tender it practically melts in your mouth, while the rich, savory gravy—packed with the earthy flavors of mushrooms, onions, and garlic—makes you want to savor every last spoonful.

Why This Recipe

• Many other recipes use only canned ingredients, which can result in a less fresh, more one-note flavor. Additionally, many other cube steak recipes overlook garlic as a key ingredient, resulting in a dish that can feel a bit one-dimensional.

• 8 ounces of cremini or baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1½-2 pounds of cube steak
• 1(1-ounce) packet of onion soup mix
• 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup of water

Substitutions And Additions

SOUP: You can also substitute a cream of celery soup for the cream of mushroom in this easy recipe..

MUSHROOMS: If you can’t find (or don’t like) cremini or Bella mushrooms, any fresh mushrooms would be fine in this easy dinner recipe.

How To Make This Slow Cooker Cube Steak Recipe

STEP ONE: In the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, arrange the onion and mushroom pieces.

Place the cube steak over the top of the vegetables. You can layer the steak pieces if needed.

STEP TWO: In a separate bowl, whisk together the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, water, black pepper, seasoned salt, and minced garlic.

PRO TIP: Because we’re adding the onion soup mix, do not add more salt to the recipe than the specified half teaspoon of seasoned salt.

STEP THREE: Pour the soup mixture over the cube steak.

STEP FOUR: Cover and cook on high for six hours or low for eight hours. 

STEP FIVE: During the last hour of cooking, whisk together the cornstarch and water and stir into the mushroom gravy mixture in the crockpot.

Continue cooking, turning the slow cooker up to high if cooking on low, and cook for another 30 minutes to 1 hour until the gravy thickens.

How To Serve

This deliciously tender steak is the perfect choice for a busy day. It simmers away all day in the slow cooker and is ready to serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Add a simple Caesar salad and dinner rolls on the side to mop up all the yummy gravy.

Storing Cube Steak

Now that you’ve enjoyed your comforting slow cooker cube steak let’s talk about how to store any leftovers or plan ahead for your next meal.

MAKE AHEAD: After preparing the cube steak and gravy, allow it to cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container, ensuring that it’s well-sealed. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to three days before reheating.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store leftover crockpot cube steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for two to three days.

IN THE FREEZER: You can also freeze this cubed steak entree for up to one month. Label the container so that you make sure to use the steak before its best-by date.

REHEATING: When it’s time to savor your stored cube steak, there are a few methods you can use to reheat it.

• In the microwave, place your portion on a microwave-safe plate, cover it with a microwave-safe lid, and heat in 30-second intervals until heated through.

• In the oven, preheat to 350°F (175°C), place the cube steak in an oven-safe dish, cover it with foil, and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until warmed to your liking.

• On the stovetop, reheat it gently in a skillet over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water or beef broth to maintain moisture. Stir occasionally until heated thoroughly. Make sure to check the internal temperature of the steak, aiming for 165°F (74°C), to ensure it’s safe to eat.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 large onion, sliced
• 8 ounces cremini or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1½ to 2 pounds cube steak
• 1 ounce onion soup mix
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup water
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

 

• In a 6-quart slow cooker, arrange the onion and mushroom pieces. Place the cube steak over the top of the vegetables. You can layer the steak pieces if needed.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, water, black pepper, seasoned salt, and minced garlic.
• Pour soup mixture over the cube steak.
• Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours.
• During the last hour of cooking, whisk together the cornstarch and water and stir into the gravy mixture in the crockpot. Continue cooking (turning the slow cooker up to high if cooking on low) and cook for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the gravy thickens.
• Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

• The onions will take a while to cook down into nice soft caramelized onions, so adding them at the start of slow cooking is the perfect timing. 
• Because we’re adding the onion soup mix, do not add more salt to the recipe than the specified ½ teaspoon seasoned salt. 
• The longer you cook cube steak in the slow cooker, the more tender it will be. We found it was quite tender at the 6-hour mark.
