Crock Pot Cube Steak

We love a good crock pot 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.

You will love how tender the meat is and you can cut it with a fork.  Make sure to serve this meal with bread because you will want to dip it into the gravy. You may also love this Cube Steak and Gravy Recipe on the stovetop.

The gravy is my favorite part. We make these Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls and it is SO good with the gravy.

If you are like me and don’t have much time to cook traditional cube steak, this cube steak and gravy recipe is a must try.

What is cube steak?

This is a type of beef that has been pounded with a meat tenderizer. It is normally top sirloin or top round.

Will steak get tender in crock pot?

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.

How to make Crock pot Cube Steak:

First, place the cube steak in the crock pot. I love the Ninja cooking system because you can brown the meat right in the crock pot for recipes that call for that.

Add the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and beef broth over the meat.

Second, just let the slow cooker do the work. I prefer to cook it on low for 6 to 8 hours. However, you can cook it on high if you don’t have much time for 3 to 4 hours.

Finally, about an hour before you plan to serve, combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Once this is mixed together really good, pour into the crock pot on the high setting. It will thicken the sauce and be perfect when it is time to eat.

The onion soup mix combined with cream of mushroom soup and broth give this meal the most delicious flavor. Your family will go crazy over this Crock Pot Cubed Steak recipe.

Slow cooking makes this meal really easy and all the flavors get blended together.

More ideas to try with slow cooker cube steak:

  • You can also try Crock Pot cube steak with cream of celery instead of cream of mushroom.
  • For a change, try substituting the cream of mushroom with cream of celery. It changes the flavor and is a nice change if you want to try something new.
  • Try making Crock pot cube steak and potatoes. Just toss a few potatoes into the slow cooker if you prefer. The potatoes taste amazing with the beef and gravy.
  • Leftovers- Make open faced sandwiches with the leftovers. 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.

  4. Linda C Ladd says:

    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

  5. Carrie Barnard says:

    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!

  6. Carrie Barnard says:

    Sorry for the confusion, I used 1 package so just 1 ounce for this recipe. I have updated the recipe. Thank you.

  7. Denise says:

  8. Maria says:

  9. Tina says:

    5 stars
    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.

  10. Bethany says:

    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.

  12. Karen says:

    Can’t wait to try it. It looks delicious

  13. Jingles says:

    I’m using elk cube steaks & onion and mushroom soup mix, it turns out really well.

    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

  16. Carrie Barnard says:

    We love this too. Thank you for commenting.

  17. Devon says:

    My family absolutely loves this!!!! It is tender and full of flavor.

    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.

  19. Jeff says:

    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.

  20. Carrie Barnard says:

    I prefer to cook beef on low in the slow cooker, but that is just a personal preference.

  21. Patty Piergiovanni says:

    It is easy but the meat wasn’t tender at all after cooking on high for 4 hours so really disappointed.

  22. Carrie Barnard says:

    You should still have plenty of liquid to make a gravy for the mashed potatoes.

  23. Aleisha says:

    Will the liquids change much is I don’t add the noodles? I like to serve it on mashed potatoes..

  24. Mary Ann Byers says:

    Currently have this cooking in the crockpot right now and I’m excited! I hope it taste as good as it looks!

  31. CHERYL says:

    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.

  32. Kristen says:

    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!

  34. Carrie Barnard says:

    It does not

  35. Carrie Barnard says:

    Yes, you can use frozen. You will need to cook it longer.

  36. Michele says:

    Does the calorie count include the noodles? I’m trying this tomorrow evening. It sounds really good!

  37. Tiffany Bates says:

    Can I use frozen cube steak OR does it need to be thawed?

  38. Lisa says:

    This is a childhood favorite of mine. I will definitely be trying this crock pot recipe.

  39. Carrie Barnard says:

    No you don’t not have to. They can stay in the crock pot

  40. Kosharem says:

    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

  43. Jon Morris says:

    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!!
