Ingredients

4 cube steaks

2 cups beef broth

1 packet brown gravy mix (about 1 oz)

1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)

1 medium onion, sliced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

2 tablespoons cold water (for cornstarch slurry)

Instructions

1. Slice the onion and set it aside.

2. Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the crockpot.

3. Lay the cube steaks in a single layer on top of the onions.

4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

5. Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the cube steaks.

6. Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 4–5 hours until the meat is tender.

7. If the gravy is too thin, mix cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry and stir into the crockpot. Let cook an additional 15–20 minutes.

8. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Spoon extra gravy on top before serving.

Notes

For the richest flavor, use fresh cube steak and layer onions at the bottom to prevent sticking.

You can sear the cube steak before slow cooking for extra depth, but it’s optional.

Let the gravy rest for 10 minutes with the lid off before serving to allow it to thicken naturally.
