    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.

     

    WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SLOW COOKER CUBE STEAK & GRAVY

    Cube steaks, condensed cream of mushroom soup, onion gravy mix, vegetable oil (or canola), flour, salt and pepper, water.

      This is one of our favorite recipes, and my kids love it too! I do make my own cream-of soup; for a basic one you can do 3T butter, 3T flour to make the roux and add 1/2c broth or water & 1/2c milk. I added beef better than bullion so I guess I made “cream of beef”.

      I am allergic to mushrooms. Is there another cream soup like celery or something that I could use?

          Sounds delicious. I was wondering if I could mix the mushroom soup, gravy packet with beef broth instead of water. Or 1 cup beef broth and 1cup water. I just don’t want it to be too salty. Not sure of how much salt is in onion gravy mix. I shall check and see if there is a low sodium choice. ** This looks so good and I will be making it this weekend. Thanks for sharing. **.

      I haven’t made this in years but just put in the crockpot – I used the Cream of Mushroom Soup, Brown Gravy Package (no onions) and the water. My question is can it be cooked in crockpot for 3 hours slow and one hour high? Thank you!

      Can you make this without browning the cube steaks? I have a hard time using a stove.

        I am making this today. I could not find onion gravy mix at the store. So I got brown gravy mix instead. Do I still add a can of cream of mushroom soup to the brown gravy mix or just use the brown gravy mix by itself? And will there be enough liquid in there to cover the cube steaks?

          Hi Connie,
          You would still use the mushroom soup – you are just subbing onion gravy with brown gravy mix – follow the recipe the same.

      Best comfort food ever using the only beef that is reasonably priced these days. My recipe also added a small can of mushrooms with brine and some softened onion. Leftovers are even better!

      I do this but use chopped onions and a couple stalks very finely chopped celery and cook in same skillet in which I browned the cube steaks to make a roux. I add the flour from leftover dredging and I use Better than Bouillon beef concentrate instead of water. Makes a delicious gravy that’s more like homemade.

      I will try this again because it was tasty and easy, but will cut the water at least in half. I expected a gravy but what I got was a thin liquid.

        make mushroom soup from scratch, but don’t add mushrooms. I’m sure you can use cream of onion. Or, any cream soups for that matter.

      I have a suggestion…next time you make this dish…use half beef cube steaks and half cubed pork cutlets! There is something about cooking the two together that is just magic in the flavor department!! Makes that gravey just sublime, too!
