Slow Cooker Recipes

Here we are, back with yet another Slow Cooker Recipe. As a “Comfort Food” website, these Crock Pot Cube Steaks are right up our alley!

I mean, is there anything better than walking into the house and smelling a Crock Pot cooking dinner?  It always smells so good, just about no matter what you are making.  Sure, using a Slow Cooker is super easy: just dump it all and let it do it’s thing. But it’s the SMELLS that really get me!

Over the years, we’ve made some really amazing meals, from Tex Mex inspired creations like this Crockpot Mexican Casserole to old school family dinners like these Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops. We’ve made holiday side dishes (Green Bean Casserole anyone?!?!) and Game Day Dips. Check out our roundup of our 16 Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes for more ideas!

A Slow Cooker is a must have for any kitchen! If you need to grab one, or are just looking to upgrade, here are a couple of great options:

• CROCKPOT SLOW COOKER– This is an affordable Slow Cooker that will be able to do anything you need.
• STAINLESS STEEL SLOW COOKER WITH BLACK CERAMIC INSERT– This one is a little fancier! And a little more expensive!

Slow Cooker Cube Steak

My husband’s mother always made cube steaks for dinner when he was a child.  He has fond memories of it.  Cube steak is great because it is inexpensive meat and there are a lot of things that you can do with it.  You just have to make sure to cook it correctly or it can get a little tough.  At some point, it occurred to me that slow cooker cube steak would be a great idea.  Cooking cube steak in a crock pot will make it super tender delicious.  Add some rich and creamy mushroom sauce and now you are in business! Here is what you’ll need:

• 1 CAN GOLDEN MUSHROOM SOUP– Golden Mushroom Soup is a lot like Cream of Mushroom Soup. So you can use that if you’d like. Just note that Cream of Mushroom Soup will have dairy in it. You can also try Cream of Chicken, Cream of Celery, Cream of Asparagus or even Cream of Bacon!
• 1/2 CAN OF WATER– By “can” I mean the soup can! I’ve had some questions about this. Just fill the soup can halfway up with water.
• 1 lb CUBE STEAK- Easy to find at your local meat department. If you can’t find Cube Steak, a decent substitution would be to buy a Top Round Steak and tenderize it at home with a meat tenderizer.
• 4 OZ SLICED MUSHROOMS- Don’t slice your mushrooms too thin, or they will break up during the cooking process. You want them nice and meaty!

Can You Use Frozen Cube Steak In A Slow Cooker?

Nope. You cannot. You’ll need to thaw it out in your fridge beforehand. When cooking meat in a slow cooker, if it starts frozen, it just won’t have time to fully cook. Also, it is a health risk to defrost meat in higher heat conditions.

What To Serve With Your Cube Steak?

We usually serve our Cube Steak over mashed potatoes, like we have pictured. But you can also serve it over rice or pasta.

You may also want to offer a side with your Cube Steak, such as Oven Roasted Green Beans, Garlic and Butter Roasted Carrots or Honey Glazed Carrots.

Or, you could serve it with a nice, healthy salad like this Grilled Vegetable Salad.

And don’t forget the bread! 7-Up Biscuits, Drop Biscuits or Garlic Cheddar Biscuits would be perfect!

Notes, Tips and FAQs

• CAN I MAKE MY CUBE STEAK EVEN MORE TENDER?– You can take an extra step to tenderize your steak by soaking it in milk for one hour.
• MY GRAVY IS TOO THIN!- I’d add cornstarch slurry to thicken things up. To make the slurry, combine 1 tbsp of cornstarch to 1 tbsp of water. Keep adding until you get the right consistency. Usually 2 tbsp will do it!

If you are a fan of steak and mushrooms, this is the recipe for you.  The steak comes out super tender and the sauce is so creamy and rich.  Love it!  Let me know what you think!
