FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
This seems like it might be too salty‚ what can I do? If you are sensitive to salt‚ don’t enjoy salted food or need lower sodium for dietary restrictions‚ you will need to purchase lower sodium or no sodium options where possible. You can always season with salt after it has finished cooking. I can’t find canned French Onion Soup‚ what else can I use? You could substitute with Beef Consommé or beef broth. Again‚ if you need lower sodium options‚ purchase those instead. Can I cook this longer than 8 hours? It helps to have a digital crock pot. That way you can cook it for a certain amount of time so and then set it to automatically go to a keep-warm setting. That would be ideal for this recipe. How to make a cubed steak so it’s not tough? This is where the crock pot comes in. Using a slow cooker so the meat can slowly cook in gravy will produce cubed steak that you can cut with a fork. Can I cook this on high? No. If you want the most tender cubed steak‚ it needs to only be cooked on low. What do you serve with cubed steak? I serve this cubed steak and gravy with my Million Dollar Mashed Potatoes and smother it in the gravy. You could also serve with rice or egg noodles. For vegetable options‚ try Italian Green Beans‚ Bacon Garlic Green Beans or Maple Glazed Carrots. What part of the cow is cubed steak? Cubed steaks come from the cow’s shoulder which is a tough cut of meat since the cow is constantly using its shoulder. The more a cow uses a certain area of its body‚ the more that area will become tough. Cubed steak is run through a meat tenderizer (which gives it all those tiny little holes) to help make it just a bit more tender. Can I double this recipe? Yes but make sure you have a large enough crock pot. How do I store leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
au jus gravy mix – if you can’t find this in a lower sodium option‚ substitute it for some low sodium brown gravy mix.
cream of chicken soup – as I stated above‚ please be aware of your own sensitivities or aversion to salt/sodium. Use low or no sodium options where possible. Cream of mushroom can also be used.
French onion soup – the same applies for this soup. If necessary‚ use low or no sodium options.
cubed steaks – This recipe works for 4 cubed steaks. Anything more and you will want to use a larger crock pot and also double the recipe.
cornstarch and water – this is to make a cornstarch slurry to thicken up the gravy. If you don’t want a thicker gravy‚ then just skip this step.
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT CUBE STEAK
In the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker‚ combine cream of chicken soup‚ French Onion soup‚ packet of au jus and water. Stir well.
Put cubed steak in slow cooker with gravy mixture and move them around to coat them with the gravy.
Cover slow cooker and cook steak on low.
After cooking‚ it’s time to thicken gravy. In a small bowl‚ whisk together cornstarch and cold water. Stir mixture into crock pot. You do not need to remove the cubed steaks to do this unless you find it easier to whisk it in. I would put the cubed steaks back in the pot as soon as you’ve mixed it in.
Turn the setting to high and cook until gravy is thickened.
Then serve with mashed potatoes.
