Cube Steak Slow Cook (Print Version)
Tender cube steak cooks slowly in a rich mushroom sauce. Great paired with noodles or mashed potatoes.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1½ to 2 pounds cube steak
02 -
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
03 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
04 -
2 teaspoons minced garlic
05 -
1 cup water
06 -
8 ounces cremini or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
07 -
½ teaspoon black pepper
08 -
1 can cream of mushroom soup
09 -
1 ounce onion soup mix
10 -
1 large onion, sliced
# Steps:
01 -
In your 6-quart cooker, toss in the onion slices and mushrooms. Stack the cube steak on top of the veggies. If needed, layer them.
02 -
Stir the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, minced garlic, water, black pepper, and seasoned salt in a bowl until there are no lumps.
03 -
Dump the soup mixture on top of the steaks in the crockpot. Cook with the lid on for 6 hours on high or 8 hours using the low setting.
04 -
About an hour before it's done, stir in the dissolved cornstarch. Let it cook on high for another 30 to 60 minutes until the gravy thickens up nicely.
05 -
Spoon it over some mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and serve while it's warm.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
The more time the steak simmers, the softer it gets. It's usually good to go after around 6 hours.
02 -
The onion soup mix already has plenty of salt, so keep the seasoned salt to just ½ teaspoon as mentioned.
03 -
Cooking the onion over time makes it sweet, blending its flavor with everything else perfectly.
