There are several meats that you can always find either on sale or marked down. That is chicken (either in drumsticks, quarters or thighs) and cube steak.
The thing with cube steak is that it can be pretty tough. I make it several different ways but this is our all-time favorite. It is so tender it just falls apart with the stir of a wooden spoon. Yep, seriously. It isn’t a pretty dish, but it sure is delicious! When Bric first saw it he was like eww, this looks like dog food…but after he tasted it he was really impressed. He also mentioned that it wasn’t like regular cube steak that you had to cut with a utility knife. He loved the taste and how tender it is. I also had a friend try it out and she says it is now her families favorite!!
Crockpot Cube Steak and Gravy
Cube steak (I used a family size pack)
2 cans (10.75 ounce size) cream of mushroom soup
1 envelope onion soup mix
3/4 cup water
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook on low all day. Serve over rice, noodles, mashed potatoes or with your favorite side dishes.
I told you it wasn’ t pretty. But I do promise it is good!!
We like it with about everything. Here I served it with green beans, sweet potatoes and a crescent roll. But it is really good over rice or noodles or with mashed potatoes. That way you have something to smother in the gravy. We just sopped our gravy up with our crescent rolls this time…so if that is what you have, I give you permission to do the same.
Just don’t tell my Momma, she would have a hissie fit just thinking of me sopping something up on my plate and would berate me from here to yonder knowing I said it was ok for you to as well.
Oh man! I found this on Pinterest right before I went on my weekly grocery store expedition, and guess what was on sale! Cube steak! I have never cooked with it before, so this was a wonderful recipe to find! (Especially since I work all day and my husband LOVES coming home to the “crockpot food” smell!) Thank you so much for sharing! It’s in the crock pot right now!
Also, I forgot to add the water and am already at work! Do you think it will be ok??
Eeeek. I am not sure Angela. I have never left the water out before.
I want to make this tonight but my crockpot is being used for apple butter, I’m sure I could do it the same in the oven but not sure what to set it at or for how long…any suggestions?
Sorry for the negativity ! I can’t wait make this
It’s in the crock pot now and I can’t wait to see how the family likes it! I’m allergic to mushrooms, so I used cream of chicken condensed soup with the onion packet and water. The only thing I added was a dash of Worcestershire sauce! Smells amazing so far…
So how long is all day? 4-5 hrs? 5-8 hrs? or what?
Yeah I’d really like to know that as well. I work 9 hour days so “cook all day” sounds promising but unlikely
My all day is usually between 6 and 8 hours. If your slow cooker cooks hot you will need to decrease the time.
This recipe sounds wonderful. I will be trying it soon.

Made this during the weekend using 1 can beef consommé and 1 can French onion soup with a little less than one can of water. Oh…so good!
I am so glad to hear you liked it Cathy!!
Hey, Jilly Bean! I have been making this recipe for years and years and years–I think I first found it in a Good Housekeeping Magazine. ONLY that recipe called for Golden Mushroom Soup so that is what I use and I brown the steaks slightly before putting them in the crockpot, then add the soup and water. Sometimes just before serving, like 15-20 minutes or so, I add some broccoli to the top of the crock pot and it tastes like the Beef and Broccoli at the Chinese place. You could also add cauliflower and carrots but the carrots might take a little longer to cook. The other mushroom soup and onion soup mix sounds good too, I’ll have to try it. Oh by the way, about the rude comments, I read in Ann Landers, also a long time ago, that just because a donkey breys doesn’t mean you have to listen! ‘Nuf said? Keep on cookin’!!! I’m looking you up on Pinterest to see what other goodies you have there!
LOL< you are my new best friend Frances! And thanks so much for the tips about adding vegetables, I have never tried it but you can bet I will when I make it next week!
So happy that I pinned this! I have made it several times for my family and they love it each time! Thank you so much for sharing
I am so happy to hear that your family likes it Marissa!!
sounds like if you got enough time to look at pics and comement and cause drama you got time to fry them or stick the ingredients in seperately, I on the other hand am looking looking for something I can throw together and cook in a crock pot and have one thing to clean instead of alot of dishes ti clean or what not thanks Jelly Bean for the updated recipe and time and pics they are pretty pics and take credit on that
This is absolutely amazing. My husband and three year old (I swear she got it from her father) are both the pickiest eaters, but just can’t get enough of this dish. I serve it with mashed potatoes and love it that way. Definitely one of our new favorite diners, actually getting ready to toss it all in the crock pot now. Mmm.
I am going to make this tomorrow. I love easy and delicious. I can’t believe how rude and inconsiderate some people can be. They need to get a life and stay out of your’s and mine!
Looks like something my Mother used to make, and I am glad to say I loved it.
I can’t wait to make it. Thanks for shareing.
It’s too bad some people have nothing to do but gripe or complain, about what someone else is doing, that is a good thing.
So you claim credit for things that are not yours??? This is my cousins recipie her picture too. You are pathetic.
Oh really? When did your cousin move in?? Because I can assure you beyond a doubt that is my kitchen…my red cabinets, my crock pot.
Wow. That’s sad someone took your picture without giving you credit. I don’t have much respect for people who do that. I am trying this tomorrow for my family and I have to say that I prefer to just dump in the crock pot like your recipe suggests. I have three kids and have no desire for an extra bowl to clean when I don’t have to, especially when it can all be combined in the crock pot easy peasy. Thanks for the recipe!!
Making this for the 2nd time tonight my husband and I love it,even my 2 year old loves it.Great dish,has became one of my favs
Well I pinned this from Pinterest and I LOVE it. I cook it all the time, it’s one of my very favorite dinners. So sorry for all of the negative people on here. I guess they’ve never heard the saying that’s also been handed down for years “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”.
Thank you Shelley…and that is so true! While I don’t like beets it doesn’t mean I go around bashing them :0)
I appreciate any ideas on how to make dinner planning easier, however I will say that this tastes as bad as it looks. I am sorry to be so blunt, but this was not good. I am not even difficult to please. I grew up on cube steak and you would be better off giving them a coat of flour and frying them in a skillet. It taste so much better fried. This dish absolutely tastes the way it looks. I am sorry, but thank you for inspiring me to try something different.
I saw this same recipe on Just a Pinch…same pic and ingredients but the directions were a tad bit different. It said to put the cube steak in the crock pot then mix the rest of the ingredients together and pour them over the meat and cook on low all day. I think that makes more sense instead of just dumping everything in one at a time. jmho. =)
Yes, I have seen that Just a Pinch is using MY picture, taken in my kitchen, by my camera. Sad that they have to take from others to make their site work.
How much meat was in the family pack? I live in Alaska and I have some moose meat I would like to use;)
The particular pack that I used was about 3 pounds. The great thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t have to be exact.
This recipe has been around for many many years, therefore no one can copyright it or have self claim to it, it’s been handed down through generations
