Crock Pot Cubed Steak with Gravy cooks up so tender with a super flavorful gravy. Serve with mashed potatoes or white rice for a filling family meal.
Cubed Steak Makes an Inexpensive Meal
This recipe is such a delicious and inexpensive way to eat cubed steak. Cubed steak is great for cooking in the slow cooker because it is a tough cut of meat. The slow cooking process really helps tenderize it.
You only need cubed steak, an onion, and a handful of common pantry items for this recipe.
How To Make Crock Pot Cubed Steak With Gravy
The cubed steaks are seasoned with seasoned salt and garlic powder and coated in flour and then browned in some oil before being placed in the crock pot.
The gravy is a simple mixture of a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, an envelope of brown gravy mix, and an envelope of onion gravy mix, plus a little water.
A sliced onion and the gravy mixture get placed on top of the cubed steak.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 6 hours.
The gravy mixes already have plenty of flavor and plenty of thickeners in them to produce a thick, richly flavored gravy.
Does Cubed Steak Get More Tender The Longer It Cooks?
Cubed steak is a very tough, inexpensive cut of meat. Cooking it at a low temperature breaks down the collagen in the meat fibers and makes it really tender. That being said, it is possible to overcook any meat which can make it dry and tough. It is best cooked on LOW between 6 and 8 hours, but I wouldn’t recommend cooking it any longer.
Equipment Needed
You will need a 6-quart or larger slow cooker for this recipe. I love using my Hamilton Beach Portable 6 Quart Set & Forget Digital Programmable Slow Cooker.

Today, I tried this recipe. The cubed steak was so tender and the gravy was delicious! Great recipe
What can I substitute the cream of mushroom for?
We live this recipe. Love the ease of preparation and the flavors. Freezes well also. I make large batches and then freeze in individual servings for my elderly mil to just warm up at her convenience.
Only problem I have found is finding the onion soup mix. Had to order on Amazon for a while, but were able to find it in the grocery store today. Looking forward to supper tonight.
Made this and family loves it. It is requested at least once a week, of course i tweaked it alittle but it is a great dish.
Very easy and tastes great
Use campbells golden mushroom soup. Game changer!
It was simply delicious!!
Made this tonight. Wow! Very good! I added some worcestershire sauce and used cream of potato soup and a can of mushrooms instead of cream of mushroom soup. Very tender. Thank you for a new go to dinner!
Great!
