Crock Pot Cube Steak and Gravy is the best comfort food. The gravy combined with the tender cube steak make an amazing meal and so easy in the slow cooker.
We love a good slow cooker recipe and this one does not disappoint. This cube steak is delicious after being slow cooked all day and that gravy is just the best.
My husband and I both enjoyed this cube steak and gravy. The meat was tender and the gravy quite flavorful. All basic ingredients
I will definitely make this again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! The cube steak is incredibly tender from being slow cooked all day. It is actually my favorite way to cook this type of meat. The meat is so tender that you can cut it with a fork.
Store leftover Slow Cooker Cube Steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. We like to use our leftovers to make open faced sandwiches. Just use a slice of loaf bread and top with meat, gravy and potatoes. It is the best lunch or dinner idea for the next day.
Once cooled, place the leftovers in a freezer safe container for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight when ready to reheat in the oven or the microwave.

I will definitely make this again.
Sandra – I really appreciate this kind comment. Thank you so much! So glad you and your husband enjoyed.
I’m sorry. I didn’t put in the question marks. Dont know why they are there
I don’t have onion soup mix he got Italian mix by mistake what can I use don’t have dried onion either?
oh no Barbara! I actually have an entire post on the best substitutes for Onion Soup Mix. I hope you check it out and that one of the options work for you!
This recipe is so good! It reminds me of my mom’s cube steak she cooked in her pressure cooker. Such good memories came to me when eating this. I paired with mashed potatoes and broccoli and it was delicious! Thank you for sharing!!
I love that it brings up good memories for you!
Can the recipe be doubled or will that overcrowd everything?
If you have a larger crock pot, it should work great. You just don’t want your crock pot more than 3/4 of the way full.
One of our favorites! Does the calories include the end noodles?
Yes the nutritional information includes the noodles as well.
Thank you ? for this recipe. Can’t wait to try. I’ve been searching for cube steak without fresh onion. That’s tough ! Everything has fresh onion and my husband can’t tolerate it. Dried is ok …
This looks so good
I’m browsing the other recipes you post
Simple but delicious. Perfect ?
Debbie – I’m so excited for you to try it!
has anyone tried this with another type of soup or gravy? I have a family member that is allergic to mushrooms.
Any cream based soup would work. I would recommend trying cream of chicken or cream of celery in this recipe instead of the cream of mushroom soup.
Sounds sooooooo nommmm nooommm
I hope you enjoy it!
It was yummy. I served it with mash potatoes. Loved using the crackpot so when I got home dinner was ready.
What can I use instead of mushroom soup. My family hates mushrooms?
Any cream based condensed soup can be used. Cream of Celery or Cream of Chicken would both work in this recipe.
Looks great. It’s a little more prep time but I like to lightly flour and brown the cube steak in a skillet with just a touch of oil. Warm up your onion soup, cream of soup and beef broth mixture in the skillet before adding to the slow cooker, gently scraping the bottom to pick up all that tasty fond.
Thanks for sharing your tips Bob! Glad to know that adding that extra step adds a ton of flavor!
I Loved the video!! Im making that cube steak in the crock pot this weekend. Thank you.
Woohoo! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! I hope your meal is delicious!
Making as I type!
Woohoo! I hope you love it!
Making this for my dinner today. It smells so good I can’t wait to eat. Definitely will be making this often.
I need advice. l have made these before in the Crockpot and just don’t like how they turn out. They seem tough and chewy after 6 hours. Do they need to cook longer? I didn’t fry them before hand. Do you have any advice or recipe recommendations? Thanks
I have two crockpots and one always cooks like the recipe and the other must cook at a slightly lower temp, because I run into that too. I would suggest two things to make the cube steak more tender a. cook for 2 hours on high then 6 on low and b. dredge the cube steak in flour, salt & pepper and fry for 3 minutes on each side before adding them to the crockpot. Hope this helps!
I will be making this for my granddaughters
Birthday
I hope they love it! Thank you for sharing and thank you for the positive review!
just had seconds. very yummy. tyvm
I’m so glad you enjoyed it – Thank you for sharing!
The gravy this made was so good! I used a can of cream of mushroom with roasted garlic instead of both being cream of mushroom and beefy onion soup mix instead of just the regular onion. Will definitely make again.
10 stars. Husband loves this dish.
Do you think Pork cube steak will work with this recipe?
Yes, I think that will work great in this recipe.
This was so good and easy. Hubby said definitely a Do Over.
I made this tonight! Holy smokes. It’s Salisbury steak!!! So much better than the overly processed garbage. My 10-year-old likes it and he is picky!!!
Absolutely love the idea that you break down these recipes for 1,2,3 people. I really love ?? that for my elderly mom and l?
I’m so glad you’re enjoying that feature. Thank you for sharing!
This is absolutely delicious! When I told my husband we were having cube steak, he scowled! After dinner, he said, make it again! The meat is so tender and gravy is yummy! Thank you so much!
Linda
I love cube steaks, thanks for sharing, I always brown mine after putting flour on them 1st and onion then add to the crock pot
Is there a substitute for the dry onion mix have some some that hates onions
I would use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or 2 teaspoons of minced garlic instead. The flavor won’t be as strong as with the onion soup mix but it will still taste amazing!
Very simple & delicious! I’ve always cooked my cube steak the same way I learned 50+ years ago, flour & brown the meat, make homemade brown gravy & cooked in a cast iron skillet. This was much less work, strain on my back & legs & easier. Learning to love the crockpot.
Super easy & delicious! Had with jazzed up instant mashed pot & green beans with bacon, butter & French onion soup mix. ?
I brown my steak before placing in the crock pot and then there isn’t any need to use cornstarch.
Can’t wait to try it. It looks delicious
I’m using elk cube steaks & onion and mushroom soup mix, it turns out really well.
looks delicious
My husband I love this recipe. We don’t add a thickener though, it is thick enough and we like to cook it longer and it’s just so tender. We’re actually having it again tomorrow with mashed potatoes. Yummm
My family absolutely loves this!!!! It is tender and full of flavor.
We love this too. Thank you for commenting.
My husband and I love this recipe. I did change it just a bit. We put the cream of mushroom soup, cup of beef broth and onion soup mix in the crock pot, we don’t add cornstarch because the gravy is thick enough without it. My husband LOVES it with mashed potatoes and green beans. The Texas Longhorns are playing today so that’s in our crock pot to eat after the game. Thank you.
You list package of onion soup as 2 oz., but a box contains 2 1 oz. envelopes, and you use only 1 envelope in the video.
Sorry for the confusion, I used 1 package so just 1 ounce for this recipe. I have updated the recipe. Thank you.
It is easy but the meat wasn’t tender at all after cooking on high for 4 hours so really disappointed.
I prefer to cook beef on low in the slow cooker, but that is just a personal preference.
Will the liquids change much is I don’t add the noodles? I like to serve it on mashed potatoes..
You should still have plenty of liquid to make a gravy for the mashed potatoes.
Yummy!!!
So easy and delicious. My teens loved it!
I’m so glad you loved it.
Amazing g flavor and so easy!!!
Was delicious.. No trouble at all..Will definitely be making again.. WOOHOO!!
Delicious and flavorful. My family enjoyed it.
Currently have this cooking in the crockpot right now and I’m excited! I hope it taste as good as it looks!
I am making this tonight! Can not wait for that deliciousness on my plate! I am going to use potatoes rather than the egg noodles, and my question is when do you think I should add the potatoes? I have redskin potatoes which tend to be a longer cook than other varieties.
Excellent recipe for cube steaks!! Started mine from frozen, and did not have 2 cans of cream of mushroom. So, I substituted with one can of cream of mushroom, and one can of cream of celery. The flavor was very, very good, and the meat was incredibly tender. Will definitely make this again!

Does the calorie count include the noodles? I’m trying this tomorrow evening. It sounds really good!
It does not
Can I use frozen cube steak OR does it need to be thawed?
Yes, you can use frozen. You will need to cook it longer.
This is a childhood favorite of mine. I will definitely be trying this crock pot recipe.
Do you take out the cube steak when you add the cornstarch?
No you don’t not have to. They can stay in the crock pot
I made it last night with celery soup and it was delicious! ?
Thank you!
I made this yesterday with some left over cube steak I had, added some venison that I pounded to make enough for the recipe, I did add onion slices and a bunch of mushrooms to it, other than that I followed the recipe and it came out pretty tasty, I put it in my crockpot for 8 hrs on low, I’ll make this again
I tried this and it was very delicious
loved it, & so did my picky husband!!! it had different flavors for us and will make again.
My family loved this recipe! The only negative comment came from my husband who said he wasn’t crazy about the texture of the meat but loved the taste. This will be on our meal rotation from now on!!
I have some cube steak in the freezer. Can I make this using frozen cube steak or do you recommend thawing in fridge overnight? This recipe has me drooling, looks delicious!!
