Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs cubed steak
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (approximately 10.5 oz)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 packet onion soup mix (about 1 oz)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the Steak: Generously season both sides of the cubed steak with salt and black pepper to build the foundation of flavor for the dish.
- Prepare Soup Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the can of cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and packet of onion soup mix. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the onion soup mix is well incorporated.
- Layer Steak in Crockpot: Place the seasoned cubed steak evenly at the bottom of your crockpot or slow cooker.
- Add Soup Mixture: Pour the prepared mushroom and onion soup mixture evenly over the cubed steak, ensuring each piece is coated for maximum flavor.
- 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. The slow cooking process will tenderize the steak and meld the flavors.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the tender cubed steak smothered in rich gravy alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite comfort sides.
Notes
- For thicker gravy, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Feel free to add sliced mushrooms or sautéed onions for extra texture and flavor.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in a skillet or microwave.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles to soak up the gravy.
