CROCK POT COOKING TIPS
This is one of those fix-it and forget it type crock pot recipes. It helps to have a digital crock pot these days. You can cook it for a certain amount of time so and then set it to automatically go to a keep-warm setting.
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 & GRAVY. It's all about the gravy, baby!

I heartily agree that the slow cooker is one great tool . . . even in the heat of summer, especially in the heat of a busy summer day. I'll be trying this. (Another appliance that ranks right up there is my immersion blender.)
I'd like to start out by saying I have followed this recipe through Pinterest. Sadly, my boyfriend is allergic to onion. All the recipes on pinterest including this one calls for onion soup. But it suggest cream of mushroom, which he does not like mushrooms. But will eat them if they are small....which are in the condensed soup. I think the au jus and brown gravy will cover the lil bit of mushroom. Thank you for allowing me to let my b/f have cube steak again. I've never cooked the old fashion way,it always intimidated me. But crock pot I'm a ole' pro at thank you. I know it will be flavorful and tender.
I made this and we really enjoyed it!
We made this and loved it!
I made this with cream of chicken, cream of celery, and tenderized chicken cutlets
it was wonderful oh sorry added 1/2 an onion and a couple of cloves of garlic
I use cream of mushroom, my husband does not like mushrooms either. But, will eat in a recipe. No onion, no problem, make this your own, to your own taste. I have a problem with so much salt, so I water it down some????
I made this recipe using Beefy Mushroom as I didn't have Au Jus gravy mix. Yummy!
Oh my! Cube steak was one of my mom's staple meals when I was younger. I bet you we have it at least 2 times a month...We never had it with gravy, but that suuuuuure does look mighty tasty!
oh my mom made the best cube steak and cream gravy...always with mashed potatoes....YUM
I have never made cube steak before. I didn't know what to do with it. But I am so going to make this!! love a good crock pot recipe!
You can also fry it like fried chicken then make white gravy to serve over it. Really good with mash potatoes and biscuits.
The only way my mom cooked cube steak was to dredge it in flour and fry it up. So yummy! We would dredge the steak in some egg wash and then flour and fry it up in a skillet with about an inch of oil. Fry it until it's golden brown and cooked through. To make the gravy we would take out just enough of the oil to leave a couple or 3 tablespoons of oil and then put flour in the oil until it makes a paste (slurry). Pour a 1/4 cup of milk at a time in the pan stirring constantly until it was thick.
The cube steak is the beginning to a hearty meal. My mama prepared this for us when we were under her roof. I have yet to try my hand at it. I need to now to have a taste of home again. Looks so delicious and my stomach is growling over this one. Yummy!
Sounds like a meal to keep a family VERY happy - thanks!

Wow. My family would love love love, did I say love....this recipe. It looks fantastic and is made in my fav applicance too. The crockpot. I knew we were kindred spirits (Tammie). Come over and visit us today. We have a great grilled fuit recipe.
OMG!! That looks amazing! I too am a fan of the crock pot it is the best invention ever 🙂
I too will be adding this to my menu.
I grew up loving cube steaks. The husband? Not so much. Maybe your slow-cooker goodness can help me talk him into giving cube steaks a try. 😉 Thanks, Bran!
Now that is a country meal.
This looks like an easy and delicious comforting meal! I added it to my menu plan for August! YUM!
Cube steak is not my favorite cut of meat, so unlike most Texans I do not like chicken fried steak. The main reason is that it is so tough. Preparing it as you suggested just might get me to like it-thanks for sharing.
I will have to give this a try, love to use the slow cooker on hot days and on sunday. Thanks for sharing.
That was so sweet of you to invite my daughter, Rhondi to visit and share a recipe on your blog. About this crock pot recipe, It looks so good and would be easy for me to make since I work full time. Rhondi bought me a crock pot for Christmas a few years back, but unfortunately it's in storage with all of my other great cooking utensils. Love your blog!!

This looks delicious!

I'm with you on the gravy, Brandie!
I do love me some slow cooker... and some gravy! This looks like a good dinner 🙂
I don't use my slow cooker nearly enough! This looks like some down home type of slow cooking. Awesome! Thanks for sharing! And keep them coming honey!
Oh wow! I've been making this wrong all these years!
My family makes this simply with the steak and the cream soup. I never thought about adding all the extras for some extra good flavoring!
I will definitely be making this one. Thank you! 🙂
This was great. Love crock pot cooking. In the heat of July and can still have good old comfort food. Thanks ffor sharing this recipe.
MMMmmm...I cannot wait to try this! Looks so simple and delish! Thanks so much for sharing!
Popping in from Gooseberry Patch, nice to meet you!

I grew up eating cube steak. My mom would make a brown gravy and add sauteed onions. She would brown the meat. Then she would simmer it for maybe an a hour or 2.
My husband calls this farm food and loves it! I haven't made it in years.
Have you noticed that the price of cube steak isn't inexpensive in the grocery stores?!
I tried this recipe out for supper tonight! It was heavenly!!! When the meat was finished I just threw a bag of egg noodles in the crock pot and let them cook in the beef gravy. They turned out great! And so easy! We will certainly be making this one again! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Hi Cari! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how it turned out for you! I'm SO happy to hear that y'all enjoyed it! Yay!!
This recipe looks wonderful! I'd love it if you submitted it to us here at Gooseberry Patch for possible inclusion in a new slow cooker cookbook. Just follow the link for simple directions! Thanks!

This was a very good recipe and I will make it again. I can't stress enough that Low Sodium soups should be used. I thought I could get away with using the regular ones, but it was WAY too salty. I, too, took the meat out and put a bag of egg noodles to cook in the sauce for about 20 minutes. A very tasty dish! Thank you for posting!
