The Best cube steak slow cooker recipe

I have been making cube steak in the slow cooker for years and it is a staple in our house. My kids love how tender the meat gets after simmering all day and I love that I can set it and forget it. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights when you need a hearty meal without a lot of fuss. The slow cooking breaks down the tougher cuts of meat into something so soft and flavorful. It is also a great way to get a good source of protein on the table with minimal effort. My family always asks for seconds when I make this and I never mind because it is so simple to prepare.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Slow Cooker Cube Steak with Gravy

1. Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?

Yes, you can use round steak or chuck steak. Just make sure to tenderize it well before cooking. Cube steak is ideal because it is already tenderized.

2. Do I have to brown the cube steak first?

Browning adds a lot of flavor and helps keep the meat from becoming too mushy. It is highly recommended but you can skip it if you are short on time.

3. Can I make this recipe gluten free?

Yes, use gluten free all purpose flour and a gluten free cream of mushroom soup. Also check that your onion soup mix is gluten free.

4. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

5. Can I add vegetables to the slow cooker?

Absolutely. Add sliced carrots, potatoes, or mushrooms to the slow cooker along with the steak for a complete one pot meal.
