Crock pot cube steak and gravy is easy to make and with just a few simple ingredients turns into a juicy, tender, flavorful dinner that everyone will love.
Season cube steaks with coarse salt then place in refrigerator and let them set for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Remove steak from refrigerator. Mix flour, pepper, and garlic powder on a flat plate.
Dredge the steaks with seasoned flour, one at a time, to coat.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place steaks in the oil to brown, about 2-3 minutes each side.
Mix the condensed soup, dry soup mix, and beef stock in a medium bowl.
Spoon a small amount of the soup mixture into the bottom of the crock pot. Scatter half the sliced onion on top of it.
Place the steaks on top of the onions then cover with the remaining soup mixture.
Scatter the remaining sliced onions on top as well as the mushrooms.
Dot with butter.
Cover and cook on low for 5 ½ hours or on high for 4 hours or until meat is tender. (LOW GIVES THE BEST RESULTS)
When the first round of cooking is complete it is time to thicken the gravy. Take a small amount of the gravy from the crock pot and whisk with the cornstarch. Keep adding gravy until the mixture is smooth. Add this slurry back to the crock pot.
Stir gently so as not to break up the meat. Cover and cook on HIGH for another 30 minutes. (Use this time to cook your potatoes or noodles.)
Plate over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta then garnish with parsley.
