HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT CUBED STEAK AND GRAVY
I think my love for my slow cooker is pretty well known (well, at least to my family). It really is one of my most favorite kitchen appliances. It’s right up there with my stand mixer. It is the busy parent, busy worker, and beginner cook’s best friend. It can take a rather tough cut of meat, like what I am using in this Crock Pot Cubed Steak with Gravy recipe, and turns it into tenderness on a plate.
WHAT CAN I SERVE WITH CUBED STEAK?
I gotta served this cubed steak and gravy with my Million Dollar Mashed Potatoes and smother it in the gravy. Or, perhaps you want something a bit lighter? Then maybe my ITALIAN GREEN BEANS, BACON GARLIC GREEN BEANS or MAPLE GLAZED CARROTS.
My favorite part of this recipe? The gravy. Oh mercy, the gravy. Me and gravy, it’s a love thing. Be sure to try my Crock Pot Pork Chops with Gravy. It’s all about the gravy, baby!

I’m trying this right now using some Venison my husband brought home. I’ve never cooked venison and I really dont want to mess with it either so I figured I’d use these venison cube steaks in this… any input?
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
Hey Misty! I think you should be okay with the venison. Venison can be super dry or tough but I think cooking it in this gravy nice and slow should help it come out tender. 🙂 Let me know how it turns out for you!
Jean says
Eating this great comfort food right now! Husband and I love it! Will definitely make again. SO easy and convenient!
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
Thanks so much for taking the time to review Jean! So glad to hear that!
Jessica O says
This is so delicious! My 3 boys, even the picky eater loved it. I accidentally bought low sodium brown gravy mix the second time I made this and it was still scrumptious!. Thank you. It is so easy too. Thank you
Ryan says
Very good overall. Tad salty but very flavorful.
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
Thanks so much Ryan!

Followed recipe except cooked in the instapot for 30 minutes and natural release. The gravy was already pretty thick so I just added the cornstarch and water and let it sit for about 5-6 minutes with no simmer. Very tasty. Thank you.
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
Thanks so much Ryvir! Love that you enjoyed making it in the Instant Pot!
Mary Ann Black says
my husband hates onions – is there something I can substitute for the onion soup?
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
Well, you’ll lose the depth of flavor but you could use a beef consommé (in the can.) 🙂
Mary E Collins says
I’m going to add some sliced mushrooms to this, and cook this tomorrow for our dinner.
Husband says yummy!
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
You can never go wrong with adding mushrooms! Hope you love it!!
Crystal says
Can I use flour instead of corn starch to thicken it?
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
Hi Crystal, flour can get kind of lumpy where as corn starch keeps nice and smooth. Also, you’d need more flour to get it to thicken and it may end up with a flour taste.
