Today I am sharing a quick and easy cube steak recipe for the slow cooker – a delicious meal to pop in the cooker when you are looking for some down home comfort food and are pressed for time. Slow Cooker Cube Steak & Gravy! Easy to adapt, a meal the whole family will love.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, my husband’s mom made cube steaks often and he still loves them today. Now that we are in Georgia with hot and humid weather most of the year, I will be utilizing my slow cooker more often trying to avoid heating up the kitchen – this recipe will be on regular rotation.
Just a few ingredients are needed to make this tasty meal. You can easily adapt this recipe to your personal taste.
To make: In a large skillet, heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. Season cube steaks with salt and pepper (or favorite seasonings – see tips below), lightly dredge in flour then brown steaks on each side and transfer to cooker. Mix cream of mushroom soup, gravy packet and water in a medium size bowl and pour over steaks. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Be sure to adjust cooking time for your cooker.
When ready, serve over mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles with your favorite veggies and salad. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Cheers!
I make this quite often. First, I coat the steak with flour and brown in oil & butter til almost done. Transfer to the crock pot. When all are cooked, I make a roux with the frying oil and flour and brown. Then add water and red wine and make a very thin “sauce”, add a can of mushroom soup, sprinkle with dried onions, cover with the very thin gravy and cook for 4-5 hours on high. Comes out with a lovely thick gravy and is just delicious over mashed potatoes.
Can the steaks be prepared the night before then put in the slow cooker in the morning?
Also good for breakfast, serve with grits, or cheese grits, eggs, toast, coffee or juice. Yummy! My favorite. Country girl from South Georgia.
This works great with an pressure cooker for the working mom with a busy life.
Doug, you use however much flour it takes for your cubed steaks to be coated.
How Much Flour Do You Use???
Looks great. Would like to adapt to instant pot and cut the cooking time. Any ideas how long you would need to cook it.
I am trying this today. I will let you know how it comes out.
I can't wait to try this. It looks delicious!! I'm always looking for good crockpot recipes to avoid heating up the kitchen now the 100° days are here.
I use cream of chicken soup and soak the steak in egg and milk and flour. I add milk to the soup and put in thr oven snd slow cook until tender.
Thanks
I have been making this in my old crock pot for over 30 years and raised the kids on this type food as I was a swing shift nurse and gone before they got home. All my husband had to do was heat up the mashed potatoes in the microwave and serve it up .
This looks delicious. A must try
What can u use if my husband can't have mushrooms?
You can use cream of Chicken or celery. You can also use 1 pack of dry Lipton onion soup to kick up the flavor. Hope this helps
You can also combine BOTH,1 can creme of celery, and 1 env of Lipton onion soup mix. It's really tasty…
Mouth-watering comfort food! No doubt about it!
