- 2 lbs cubed steak
Sauce
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (approximately 10.5 oz)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 packet onion soup mix (about 1 oz)
Seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the steak: Generously season the 2 pounds of cubed steak with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Prepare the sauce mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of beef broth, and the packet of onion soup mix. Stir until all ingredients are well blended to form a smooth gravy base.
- Place steak in slow cooker: Lay the seasoned cubed steak evenly in the bottom of the crockpot to ensure even cooking.
- Add the sauce: Pour the prepared mushroom and onion soup mixture over the steak, making sure the meat is fully covered with the gravy.
- Cook low and slow: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or alternatively on high heat for 3 to 4 hours. This slow cooking process will tenderize the steak and allow flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve and enjoy: Once cooked, serve the tender cubed steak covered in rich gravy alongside mashed potatoes or rice for a complete, comforting meal.

- For thicker gravy, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the crockpot about 30 minutes before serving.
- Feel free to add sliced mushrooms or onions to the crockpot for extra flavor and texture.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
